It was serialized in Shogakukan's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Sunday from July 2008 to October 2009, and later on Club Sunday from November 2009 to March 2010.

The series is set in a world where artists possess supernatural abilities called "skills". Artists require physical materials to manipulate in order to create supernatural phenomena, and skills require practice to use properly. Prior to the main events, a social hierarchy formed in which people with less developed or no skills were used as test subjects by those who were artists. Acro Hanbakka, a young boy, travels to the capital city, the Capital of the Arts, to hone his skills and become a great artist.
