線は、僕を描く
Sen wa, Boku wo Egaku

Sosuke Aoyama is a college student adrift on his own...until a chance meeting with suibokuga artist Kozan Shinoda brings him into the world of India-ink painting. But though he finds a connection with the art and Shinoda himself, there's more to the art world and Shinoda's family than Sosuke realizes...
