In this story set in the early 1980s, a young man dreams of becoming a renowned comic writer in years to come. His name is HONOO Moyuru. He has no money, only a dream. Then, he feels overwhelmed by his lack of ability, and buys some sake, although he has no head or stomach for alcohol. This is a tortured elegy for any dashing young art student who spends his days careening around in burning ambition.

Hot blooded comic about... writing comics. There are actually a few series starting with Moeyo Pen (Burning Pen), then later on came the sequel series Hoero Pen (Shouting Pen).
