Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"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
