Blue Period

ブルーピリオド

Yatora Yaguchi gets top grades and still stays out all night with his friends. He is good at reading what people want from him. Art is the one subject he never took seriously. Then he sees a painting by Mori from the art club and cannot look away. He picks up a brush himself and paints Shibuya at dawn. Putting what he saw on canvas hooks him. He sets his sights on Tokyo University of the Arts. It is the hardest art school in Japan to get into. Blue Period follows the work it takes in real detail. Lessons on drawing, color and composition are part of the story. It suits art students and people who found a passion late. Fans of grounded coming of age drama will like it too.
