AAPI Heritage Month Film Series
Popular, outgoing Fujino is celebrated by her classmates for her funny comics in the class newspaper. One day, her teacher asks her to share the space with Kyomoto, a truant recluse whose beautiful artwork sparks a competitive fervor in Fujino. What starts as jealousy transforms when Fujino realizes their shared passion for drawing.
Based on the acclaimed manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of "Chainsaw Man," this striking anime film captures the highs and lows of pursuing artistic excellence and the special bonds formed through creative collaboration. Kiyotaka Oshiyama's feature debut offers a touching story of friendship and creativity that will inspire you to chase your own artistic dreams.
