The role of the farmer is to create rice for the samurai. Doing anything but, like working at trade, acting, or creating monsters from ink would render him non-human.
Jun has always been good at hiding. Hiding what he wanted, hiding his drawings, hiding the little stories he told himself about the world around him. When his father fell ill and asked Jun to take over the family farm, he hid what he really did there, too. Until one day, his father decided to have a look. “So I’ll be able to be proud of you and enjoy the fruits of my labor,” he added.
But instead of thriving green crops, he found giant monsters that Jun had created by drawing them in ink. Furious and terrified, he deemed Jun a non-human and threw him out, where he’d be shunned and turned away at every corner.
To return to his father and his normal life, Jun joins Suisen; A school that can turn any monster-making non-human into a regular teen, to be loved and accepted by his family and community, by taking that magical ability that made them special.
