Synopsis
Sometimes a picture can tell more than a thousand words.
Hikari "Picasso" Hamura, a grouchy teenager with a talent for drawing, dies in a freak accident. The gods decide to revive him, but only on the condition that he use his artistic gift for the good of humanity. Picasso discovers that sketching a person's aura yields a surreal portrait of their psyche.
