Ranmaru spends his whole life not fitting in, until the oddballs of the Art Squad adopt him as one of their own.
Ranmaru Kurisu comes from a family of hardy, rough-and-tumble fisherfolk and he sticks out at home like a delicate, artistic sore thumb. It&;s given him a raging inferiority complex and a permanently pessimistic outlook. Now that he&;s in college, he&;s hoping to find a sense of belonging. But after a whole life of being left out, does he even know how to fit in !
The Art Squad has always felt like home to its members, but as their chief&;s final year winds down, doubts begin to assail them all. Tomu worries he has no talent, Ruka decides to quit the club early to live up to family expectations, Izumi&;s amnesia finally starts to get to him, and Maasa plans to give up zombies in order to find a man. Now it&;s up to Ranmaru, the newest and most neurotic club member, to save the spirit of Art Squad!
