Tokuma Shoten revealed on Friday that Kei Ohkubo's Arte manga has inspired a TV anime adaptation. Mikako Komatsu plays the titular protagonist and aspiring painter Arte, and Katsuyuki Konishi plays Leo, the painter who takes Arte on as his apprentice.
Media Do describes the story as follows:
Florence, Italy, 16th century. A girl, an artistic ambition! The birthplace of the Renaissance, where art flourishes. In a small corner of this vast city, the journey begins. She dreams of becoming an artist, an impossible career for a girl born into a noble family. At that time, art was an exclusively male profession, where women faced strong discrimination. Despite these challenges, Arte relies on hard work and a positive attitude!
