Ataru: Perfect

On the outside, Ataru seems to have it all, young, beautiful and talented. But little does anyone know how Ataru battles depression and anxiety almost every day. How many times has Ataru thought about ending his own life? He defenitetely lost count of it. The demons in his head tell him all sorts of things. Life's sometimes just too much for him to take..

In addition, Atarus dad has never been too fond of his artistic skills. Art doesn't make money, he always said. But Ataru didn't care, he continued pursuing it because it soothes his loneliness and in his imagiation he could travel wherever and meet all kids on charakters.

People also mistake his empathetic heart and kindness for weakness. Over and over again he has fallen victim to exploiters and abusers, but this is also due to his naivety believing that everyone has only good intentions.

So how much longer is he gonna put up with that? How much longer til the final straw falls?

He's about to prove everyone wrong, so pay close attention.
