Now this manga ended, I don't know how to explain it. The paintings with messages made me tear up unlike other art manga and this has a relaxing yet sad feeling because of the mc's life. You watch him grow as well and feel the same way too with his master and friends especially his rival.

The story is so relatable as well especially if you're coming with problems. It gave me a much better view of life as well.

The art in manga is also superb, not only the paintings but everything.

This manga is equals to Beauty. That's all I can say.

"I didn't care what the outcome would be i just wanted to pass down what my master had left me, i just wanted to have a sense of purpose in life". this manga does exatcly what it sets out to do in a beautiful way. Sen wa, Boku wo Egaku is about sumi-e painting, we follow aoyama who meets kozan-sensei (a famous sumi-e painter) at a painting convention, kozan-sensei ends up taking him in as a student and teaches him how to paint sumi-e paintings, we follow him through the story as he deals with his past, aoyama meets chiaki who is kozan-sensei's grandaughter ... and they form a rivalry, there are quite a few lessons in this manga that can help you not only with sumi-e but with your personal life, also the art in this manga is great and you will get some feels. the best way i can describe this manga is beautiful.

So, I've never written a review before, but considering how few people have read this manga I feel as though I should try to help convince people to read it.

This is a fairly short manga, though I feel that it accomplishes everything it needs to. The characters have realistic personalities, and they're easy to sympathize with. I even liked the side characters I thought that I would find annoying.

The big selling point of this art manga is, well, the art. The sumi-e paintings that we are shown are all beautiful, and portray character growth just as much as the dialogue does.

Overall, I'd highly ... recommend this to anyone, especially if you also like manga similar to Blue Period.

This looks to be a pretty decent manga about a college lad trying out ink painting, which it was all thanks to a old man who was known to be a popular ink painter. He then meets the granddaughter of the old man in which she is considered a cold one to hang with lol. I would recommend this to Blue Period fans since there is a lot of nice art of lilies especially in this so yeah totally check this out!

Thanks Netgalley and Kodansha comics for allowing me to read volume 1 as the art here is just very pretty like who wouldn’t ... want a manga full of pretty paintings? Very much enjoyed this manga!
