Episode 2: "There's Something Beyond This, Y'know"
Synopsis
On the recommendation of Sayuri Kato, Koichi and his friends visit an art atelier to scout out the environment for their upcoming art university entrance exams. There, Koichi has a chance reunion with Eren.
It turns out Eren has known the atelier’s director, Kaido, since she was a child and still drops by the studio from time to time. Fueled by a burning sense of rivalry toward Eren’s effortless talent, Koichi begins attending the atelier regularly. However, his sketching skills show no signs of improvement, and he finds himself on the receiving end of Kaido’s harsh, no-nonsense critiques. Then, early one morning, while Koichi is out taking reference photos for an assignment, Eren spots him—and the gears of fate begin to turn once more.
Eren the Southpaw — Series Information
Synopsis
High school is halfway over, and the pressure of the future is starting to weigh on everyone. Koichi Asakura, an aspiring designer aiming for a top-tier art university, finds his world turned upside down one day when he encounters a powerful piece of graffiti blasted onto a museum wall. The artist behind it is Eren Yamagishi—a "southpaw" girl who had locked away her genius-level talent following a specific incident.
While their personalities clash, the two eventually find mutual respect through the act of "creating." As Koichi chases the dream of becoming a designer and Eren steps onto the path of a painter, their journeys through the brutal reality of the art world begin.
