The Essence of Being a Muse, Vol. 1

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Twenty-three-year-old art school reject Miyuu Seno has a blueprint for the future, but it's not her own. Instead, she's stuck on the secure path her mum has laid out for her—from her office job, to her clothes, to the guys she meets—and it's making Miyuu more miserable by the day.

When things come to a head between them, Miyuu leaves home with a blank canvas in tow, holding on to the hope that painting can somehow undo the phony she's become.

Discover her journey in The Essence of Being a Muse, Vol. 1 by Aya Fumino, Ajani Oloye, and Lys Blakeslee.
