Genkaku Picasso

Hikari Hamura earned the nickname "Picasso" thanks to a natural, unmistakable gift for art. Yet even that talent could not shield him from tragedy: when a horrific accident tears through his world, Hikari miraculously survives—but his dear friend Chiaki is not so fortunate. Then, impossibly, Chiaki appears before him once more, bearing a stunning ultimatum. If Hikari wishes to keep on living, he must dedicate himself to helping the people around him. For a boy who once poured everything into his drawings, this is a burden far heavier than any pencil stroke—and one he cannot afford to refuse. Armed with nothing but his sketchbook and a trusty 2B pencil, can Hikari truly save those who need him most... and earn the right to the life that was spared?
