Blue Period 10

"Yatora prepares for the first-year show, where he'll have to pass an open review from intimidating professors and celebrity guest lecturers. To make matters worse, the self-directed nature of the assignment is more stifling than freeing, and he's no longer sure: Does he even like art? Why did he ever start? An all-nighter in Shibuya may hold the answer, but Yatora's not with his usual boys..."--

Blue Period 10, winner of the 2020 Manga Taisho Grand Prize, is a manga that delves into the struggles and rewards of a life dedicated to art. The story follows Yatora, a popular guy who realises he's just going through the motions to make other people happy. He discovers a newfound passion in painting, but untethering himself from past expectations proves to be both dangerous and thrilling.

Yatora prepares for the first-year show, where he'll face an open review from imposing professors and celebrity guest lecturers. The self-directed nature of the assignment turns out to be more stifling than freeing, leading him to question his passion for art. Does he even like art anymore? Why did he ever start?

An all-nighter in Shibuya might hold the answers, but Yatora finds himself without his usual friends by his side.
