Through the eyes of Takeo, an aging manga artist who continues to draw despite rejection and the changing tides of the industry, the story explores the fragile bond between creation, memory and letting go. Accompanied by ink-born figures that give shape to his doubts, Takeo confronts the meaning of his work and what it means to keep creating when the world seems to have stopped listening.
