The jaw dropping beautiful art alone of Blue Period attracted me to the series but once I started reading I was dying for new chapters.



The story is about a highschoolers named Yaguchi and how he falls in love with art despite the realistic struggle of becoming an artist and all the excruciating work and depression that comes with simply not being good enough to compete with others , having to take part time jobs in order to cover costs of cram school and painting supplies or the art universities that have such low acceptance rates that illustrate the fear of getting rejected.


If Im completely honest I've re-read the series about 3-4 times despite it being so short the story is still so compelling to read since the journey of not only Yaguchis skill in art but also his perception of art changes across the manga an example being that whats normal to you isn't seen as normal to others and that the way people approach a model or subject is completely relative to what you see In the subject matter

Art 10/10 lot of emotion is told from faces and the use of shadows to express the purest of emotions really lets you simply be immersed with the characters

Story 9/10 its a simple story but this actually is a strength since it puts more focus on Yaguchi getting better and better as an artist and dealing with his setbacks

Character 8/10 I love every character shown they all have great back and forth conversations wether its joking and teasing or disagreement which really sells that their high school students

Enjoyment 10/10 would read 3 more times

Overall 10/10 please read
