For me, I've always especially enjoyed stories that show the development of characters' skills - whether it's art, acting, music, soccer, baseball, drawing, gaming, martial arts, cultivation etc. - and tend to end up a little disappointed when the focus is primarily on matches, battles, romance etc. (not that those things are bad) and the skill and personal development is ignored.
This manga doesnt have a fast pace nor an action to get you so deep into it, or get you so excited. But it has something different than other mangas. It has a protagonist which thinks; thinks about himself, people around him, the world... And realizes how shallow his world and his point of view is. He steadily develops himself and his view by developing and meeting new people, understanding new people and their worlds', and while doing this he also gets us readers dragged along with him. I dont know why but even though this manga hasn't got so many things going on unlike others, I like this more than the others. I like it's slow but steady pace and how it makes us understand people in it, like how they feel and what makes them draw those pictures.
I feel like this manga is rather underrated. I hope more people would realize that is is actually a treasure. Thank you so much for translating, I will be waiting for new chapters (≧∇≦)
