Story
The world is illuminated by your light, and the flowers you hold give it color.
There’s a rumor spreading quietly across the internet:
“An anonymous painter will paint anything you request.”
They do not want money or fame. Capricious and eccentric,
the painter only accepts requests that pique their interest.
Those lucky enough to meet this mysterious criteria will be chosen
to meet with Lilja—a beautiful girl with long,
fairy-like silver hair and eyes that shine like gemstones.
Even though she is blind and wheelchair-bound,
this does not hinder her genius.
“From this day forward, I’m going to become your new eyes and legs!”
Natsuka is her energetic live-in assistant.
She acts as Lilja’s eyes and legs, using her instinct and intuition
to find the inspiration and information beyond what’s necessary that Lilja seeks.
“I don’t know for sure, but I can feel it!”
Her words resound within Lilja and become the “light” that illuminates her world.
The blue of reminiscence, the green of monsters, the red of martyrdom…
“My little dove has brought me an olive leaf! It’s now my turn to take care of the rest.”
The results far exceed the clients’ wildest dreams.
“The world seen through your eyes is much more beautiful than the world I used to see.”
Tortured by their pasts, two girls walk into a new future in this story of loss and rebirth.
Meet the Girls
Lilja Meri
“My little dove has brought me an olive leaf! It’s now my turn to take care of the rest.”
A blind, wheelchair-bound girl born into royalty in a country in northern Europe. Though she’s tall and wise beyond her years, she’s still in her teens. She moved to Japan, where her grandmother is from, in order to get away from her overprotective family. Rationality and efficiency are her mottos. With her long, silver hair, she possesses the beauty of a snow fairy.
She has an incredible talent for painting, and it’s said that her paintings are able to change the world for anyone who sees them.

“Your paintings are truly incredible, Lilja-san. They have the power to change the world of anybody who sees them.”
An energetic girl who works as a live-in assistant for Lilja. She dedicates her days to being Lilja’s new eyes and legs and bringing inspiration to the painter, who is blind and can’t walk. Her short stature and youthful looks make it easy to mistake her for an elementary schooler, but she’s actually a full-grown adult. She tends to make decisions based on intuition and wild instinct alone.
She’s strong, stubborn, and has a healthy appetite.
