Brush with Temptation

Synopsis

Riku Hayase didn't come from a famous school. He spent a year retaking the entrance exam to get into Shiratori Academy of Art, the best art school in the country. He's brilliant with a pencil and weak with colour, because his family could never afford art prep school. When he's nervous, he recites painters' names and life stories to calm down.

On his first day he gets hit in the face with a sketchbook. The girl who threw it is about to place first in the Placement Test. Then he finds out she's his roommate.

Rin Tsukishiro — “Ice Queen Tsukishiro”. A colour genius who mixes every colour she needs from three primaries and white, and so shy she blushes faster than she can turn a page. The only thing between their beds is a curtain… and a growing list of roommate rules written on pink sticky notes.

And then there's life drawing class.
