Eren the Southpaw was initially released as a web manga by Kappy, running from March 2016 to September 2017. A remake version, illustrated by nifuni, was later serialized on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ from October 2017 to October 2022 and compiled into 24 volumes.

Crunchyroll describes the anime as follows:

As high school reaches its midpoint, Koichi Asakura—who dreams of studying design at art school—has his plans shaken by explosive graffiti on a museum wall. The artist is Eren Yamagishi, a left-handed girl who buried her talent after a past incident. Drawn together by art, Koichi pursues design as Eren returns to painting, but fear, ambition, and old scars threaten their paths.
