Spitting out Ink-Colored Desire

インク色の欲を吐く

In late 19th-century England, a young man named Aubrey Beardsley visits the famous novelist Oscar Wilde with a bold proposal: he wants Wilde to use one of his illustrations in the play "Salome." Wilde is taken aback by the sudden offer but quickly captivated by Beardsley's fearless attitude, bewitching charm, and undeniable talent.

Beardsley, a self-taught artist known for his provocative black-and-white drawings, rises to prominence despite the scandalous rumors surrounding his personal life—including allegations of homosexuality and an incestuous relationship with his own sister. As he battles lung disease, he pours himself into his art, achieving both status and honor. Yet, as his health deteriorates, the manga explores what Beardsley sought at the moment of his death, reflecting on the glory and downfall of a heretical painter who died at just 25.
