Hadaka no Taiyou

Ichinose Taiyo is a top student whose classmates expect him to attend a good college and build a comfortable career, but his secret dream is to become a manga artist. He hides it because he fears the odds of success are slim and worries about being judged like his classmate Anezaki Runa, whose intense dedication to manga has left her isolated from others. When Runa discovers Taiyo’s ambition, she pushes him to pursue it. Taiyo begins to recognize how much he has shaped his choices around other people’s opinions, and how that fear may hold back his work. With Runa’s help, he learns to trust his dream and let others see who he really is, even if they might reject him.
