Opus.COLORs

Okay, it's done.

Come take a look.

Wow!

So this is Perception Art, Dad?

Yeah.

Once you boys are older, I'm sure it'll be able to do even more amazing things.

Like produce sounds, smells, and warmth.

And a greater variety of color.

A greater variety of color...?

I wanna paint Perception Art too!

No fair! Me too!

Dad!

Honey...

Me too.

I want to become a Perception Artist like you two, too!

I'll do the same!

Me too!

That's cold...

What are you doing?

Nothing. Just thinking about the past.

Yeah?

Well, let's go!

C'mon, Jun! This is embarrassing!

It's fine! Hurry up already!

Wait up!

Not keeping in shape, are you, Kazuya-kun?

Shut up!

It's been twelve years since then.

Just like my dad predicted,

Perception Art has evolved.

It's now known as a new genre of art called "sensation art."

It's pretty empty.

See? Good thing we ran.

"Now"

From the age of seeing to the age of feeling

The best of Perception Art education!

All eyes are on them! Perception Art in the spotlight

It doesn't just stay on the canvas.

It's art without limits.

Viewers don't just see it with their eyes.

They're invited into a world with all their senses.

Look!

Perception Art is a digital art form that leaps from the frame

to meet those who come to see it.

The sight I beheld that day...

Now anyone can see it.

Eisen Art Museum

In front of Student Quarters

And now, I...

We...

Kyo!

We'll start creating new scenes!

The Intersection of Colors #FFD900

Kyo, long time no see!

I thought we'd see you once school started,

but catching you hasn't been easy.

You're really here?

Of course! Did you think it was a joke?

Kazuya!

U-Um...

Long time no see.

Yeah.

Later.

Wait! Let's talk more!

Stop that.

Hands off. What do you think you're doing, fool?

You haven't changed, have you?

That's not true.

You're still the same.

Exactly.

Let's go!

Is that a Perception Art frame?

It's huge!

I heard the Generals made it.

The Generals?!

Overflowing, overflowing

Perceptions and feelings that start from zero

If it's vague or invisible, manipulate the model edges and create it yourself

Unless we go, we will be late

We chase it

The afterimage of slipping between light and shade

Close-Up, Close-Up

Images

Start with contours

And become truth

The more you layer, the clearer the picture

Realize, it remains a miracle

Close-Up, nanana nanana nana

Close-Up, nanana nanana nana

Wow!

So this is what the great Generals can do...

What are they like? Kyo, have you ever met them?

No, not this year's.

"Not this year's"?

They're just older college students

with enough free time on their hands that they

like to fool around at the affiliated high school.

Playing it cool, I see.

Three people...

Two are balanced types, but the third is kind of amazing...

Re-make you, make you

Sometimes

You have to break something

To bring it to life

Infinite strokes that spread out crookedly

Realize, set them free

Close-Up, nanana nanana nana

Does this mean you see something?

M-My bad.

Kyo, I was just, uh...

Hey, Kyo!

Do you need something?

Not really, but...

Then don't talk to me.

But...

We're finally at the same school!

Let's hang sometime!

See you later!

Tough luck.

It was written all over his face that I was bothering him.

I can't help it.

Come on, try harder to control yourself.

Hey, look. Why are they on this campus?

Isn't it hard for him to be friends with us?

He's studying to be a Grader.

A Grader, huh?

I'm sure you're already aware, but...

In Perception Art, the Grader, who's in charge of producing the piece,

Grader Specialty

Graders are the key to Perception Art's future.

and the Artist, who creates the piece, join forces to make unique paintings.

Artist Specialty

Perception Art's "colors" and "personality" depend on the Artist.

I know.

And so, here at Eisen High School's Perception Art Department,

we're separated into the Grader and Artist tracks.

And not just a little. We're completely divided.

The students of the two disciplines don't get along at all.

You really like making stuff like this, don't you?

I am an Artist, after all.

Anyway, take a look.

Here. This is the Artist center, where we are now.

The Grader center is over here.

They're so far apart.

No wonder we never see him.

Even in the dorms, we're totally separated past the entryway.

I hear that if you don't have a joint project class with someone,

you never see them at all.

By the way, first-years don't have any of those classes!

But by next year, Kyo will have already graduated!

That's how it is.

How'd he end up on the Grader track?

Kyo...

I didn't say there's nothing you can do.

Even we first-years have a chance to work on a joint project with a Grader.

The Staircaser Contest, huh?

That takes me back.

Remember when that piece we were so proud of

was utterly beaten by Rio-chan's?

If you're going to create something, do it in a studio.

Don't leave random doodles all over here, Daiki.

Don't worry. I'll erase it, Mako-chan.

The Staircasers represent the school for the year.

At the Eisen Art Museum, a symbol of our academy,

their piece is displayed at the top of the stairs, the main exhibition space.

It's now our turn to judge what piece makes it there.

You can't keep acting so carefree.

Okay, Dad.

To cut to the chase, about pairing up the candidates...

If you don't have an opinion, I'll just do it myself,

since you Artists aren't good with paperwork.

How about it, Nakashizu?

The candidates this year are interesting.

One of them is from the Yamanashi family.

Yeah, looks like it.
