Reviews for Blue Period Vol 1 (MG)

Blue Period is a great series, with a twist of realism that makes your heart ache. Watching characters experience imposter syndrome and feel inadequate during their artistic journey can be hard-and for some, too relatable-but the way that writer Tsubasa Yamaguchi has presented 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 figuring out what it is that he wants to do with his life. -Anime News Network
