The Magic Brush: A Journey Through Time
Mio, a young artist, stops outside an old antique shop in Tokyo, drawn to a particular brush in the window. This brush seems special, pulling her inside the shop.
Inside, time seems to slow down, and the shopkeeper, a small old man with thick glasses, tells her this is no ordinary brush—it has magical powers.
Curious, Mio buys the brush and heads home. She starts painting a scene from ancient Kyoto, feeling a strange urge. As she paints, the picture comes to life, and when she finishes, a bright light surrounds her.
When the light fades, Mio finds herself in the world she just painted, ancient Kyoto. She’s amazed and tries to understand how the brush took her back in time.
While she’s figuring things out, a noblewoman from the Heian period named Akane approaches her, curious about Mio’s strange clothes.
Mio decides to tell Akane the truth about her journey from the future. Together, they start exploring the ancient city, beginning an adventure through time.
