Story
It is the beginning of the 1980s. First-year art college student Honoo Moyuru who grew up watching anime such as Gundam and Touch, is taken with the world of manga and goes on to the Osaka University of Arts. Passionate and ambitious about becoming a manga writer, he has misplaced confidence in his own ability, believing without a doubt that he should be able to debut some day and is diligent in his daily assignments. Moyuru is rather proud about his first assignment. But in the classroom, Anno Hideaki’s work draws a crowd. Stunned by Hideaki’s level, Moyuru vows revenge in the next round. However, strong rivals such as Yamaga Hiroyuki and Akai Takami distinguish themselves. On the other hand, Moyuru also has an interest in anime work and searches for the path he should take. He reaches a decision just before the summer break. It is to bring his manga manuscript to Tokyo publishers. This is the start of a youth of excruciating anguish for him.
