Yatora studies hard and gets good grades, and he parties hard, staying out late drinking and watching soccer with his friends. He checks all the boxes he needs to be the perfect high school student. But it all starts to feel empty, and he begins to wonder what part of his life expresses who he is... or even if he has a unique voice at all. Then he wanders into the art room one day, and a lone painting captures his eye, awakening him to a kind of beauty he never knew. Compelled and consumed, he dives in headfirsthe's about to learn how savage, unforgiving, and exhilirating creating art can be!
It's a cause for celebration that Kodansha are still bringing us Blue Period (which has to be one of the most original and life-enhancing manga around today exploring art, life, discovering yourself and so much more) but nevertheless, it's disappointing to note that there are still no colour pages in Volumes 14 and 15. Tsubasa Yamaguchi's vibrant colour work can still be enjoyed on the cover art but this is a series about art and artists, and deserves to showcase the mangaka's dazzling and inspiring work in colour as well as black-and-white.
