We need more rainbow-themed art with Grace since it carries so much meaning in the film and is closely related to his personality.
It's a reminder of his past and his connection to Earth. Every time a rainbow appears on the screen, we see a part of his personal world through flashbacks. Something that only makes sense and matters to him.
And it becomes an even more complex idea because light is something only Grace can see (in comparison to Rocky, I mean). Not just, uh, you know, "light" as such, but its structure – the way it breaks into the visible spectrum. Dispersion becomes a metaphor for complexity and deeper understanding. Something that only he can truly comprehend. Again, something deeply personal.
Something that only makes sense and matters to him.
And of course, a rainbow symbolizes many positive things. Hope, renewal. It often appears in religious art, which makes a lot of sense in a story with clear religious motifs. So yeah.
The rainbow literally describes Grace's entire story, connecting his past, which was not the best or easiest for him, and the future he deserves.
A rainbow is a reminder that beauty always follows the storm.

Seri Tainaka is a manga artist with a one-hit-wonder. Her title, "To Hell and Back" was widely loved…but her successes end there. When Seri meets her quirky new editor, Sumire Futami, she is both shocked and captivated by this fascinating woman… Shrouded in mystery, Futami seems to be hiding some truths about herself. With the ladies teamed up, their Fatale Game begins here!
I am making this EMERGENCY TOXIC YURI REC POST because I actually had no idea it got licensed and apparently the artist said that sales weren't going well but the editor-in-chief has been allowing the series to continue and I need everyone to gather your powers and Save Yuri because if this series gets cancelled. I will be on the news.
ANYWAY, this is burnt out insecure manga artist/ambitious manipulative manga editor (although, rather than artist/editor it's more artist?editor). the art is BEAUTIFUL and the women are UNHINGED.
something that I really like about it is that the manipulative editor is pretty off-putting. the artist is resistant for the first few pages (lol) because the editor's extremely pushy, effusively over-affectionate, and excruciatingly blunt with what doesn't meet her standards (she calls the artist's storyboard "boring" Several Times)
but even though the editor seems to make a pretty universally terrible first impression on, quite possibly, every artist she's worked with, her intensity is the source of the charisma she uses to bewitch those artists
the Gripping Someone By Their Anatomically Accurate Heart visual comes back several times and it's always a banger, my favorite version of it so far is in chapter 7.
something that I find compelling is that the editor is definitely manipulative and only interested in artists that she thinks has the potential to be Ranked #1, and actively pits her artists against each other like she's running fight club, but there's something about her that makes you want to believe that some degree of her feelings are pure... that she truly and sincerely has a deep connection with the art that she gravitates to...
all of this is from the first chapter btw, it's kinda crazy. battan is a genius. anyway if you use K-manga's ticket system you can read Fatale Game for free, Please Please Please Please read it on the app and also vote for Every Chapter, NOW IS THE TIME
