Winner of the 2020 Manga Taisho Grand Prize! A manga about the struggles and rewards of a life dedicated to art. The studious Yatora leaves a dry life of study and good manners behind for a new passion: painting. But untethering yourself from all your past expectations is dangerous as well as thrilling... Yatora is the perfect high school student,with good grades and lots of friends. It's an effortless performance,and,ultimately...a dull one. But 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 headfirst - and he's about to learn how savage and unforgiving art can be!

MEDIA REVIEWS
"Blue Period is a great series,with a twist of realism thatmakes your heart ache. Watching characters experience imposter syndromeand feel inadequate during their artistic journey can be hard-and forsome,too relatable-but the way that writer Tsubasa Yamaguchi haspresented it makes it one of the best series to hit serialization in a long time." -Polygon "One of the top 10 manga of 2020." -School Library Journal "A stunning manga about discovery and passion... I was not prepared for the amazing story I would lose myself in." -Black Nerd Problems "An exploration of what it means to make art (and) a slice-of-life coming-of-age narrative about a young man figuringout what it is that he wants to do with his life." -Anime News Network
