Art equals expression, an expression creating an outer form, expressing joy, sorrow, and the darkness of the soul. Yutou Riro is an art college student, but she believes she lacks the talent to truly succeed as an artist. Entering her life through a series of coincidences is Karaba Jo, an apparently retired yakuza member. To Riro's astonishment, Jo has an exceptional ability to draw the "real" self of the people or the objects he draws. His artwork draws attention to the finest details of his subject, bringing to light the truth behind each individual.
