Kei Okubo’s Arte anime launched in Monthly Comic Zenon magazine in 2013. Eleven volumes have been released to date, with the latest shipping to stores on July 20. Media Do publishes the title in North America, which they describe as:

16th century Firenze, Italy. One girl, One ARTistic ambition!The birthplace of the renaissance era, where art is thriving. In one small corner of this vast city, one sheltered girl’s journey begins. She dreams of becoming an artist, an impossible career for a girl born into a noble family. In those days, art was an exclusively male profession, with woman facing strong discrimination. In spite of these challenges, Arte perseveres with hard work and a positive attitude!
