is a Japanese historical slice of life josei manga series written and illustrated by Hozumi. It was serialized in Shogakukan's Flowers manga magazine and was compiled in 2 volumes published in 2013.[3] It tells the story of Theodorus van Gogh, an art dealer in late 19th-century Paris, who fights to promote innovative art and gain recognition for his brother Vincent's talent amidst a conservative art scene.

Story

The original manga tells the story of the van Gogh brothers - the famous painter Vincent van Gogh, and his younger brother Theodorus van Gogh - but primarily from the point of view of his younger brother. Theo is employed as the branch manager of the famous art dealership Goupil & Cie. He seeks to embrace new talents and techniques, but the bourgeoisie mentality of the time deems the lower classes unable to appreciate fine art, marking it as a domain exclusive to high society. Theo struggles to showcase art that depicts the truth of the everyday.
