Blue Period

Second-year high schooler Yatora Yaguchi keeps his grades high and drifts through his days with friends, wearing an easygoing, delinquent image. Yet the routine leaves him restless, unable to find anything that feels genuinely meaningful.

Everything shifts when a striking view of Shibuya catches him off guard, and he reaches for a paintbrush to put what he can’t say into color. Encouraged by the response to his first work, Yatora sets his sights on the fiercely selective Tokyo University of the Arts, where only a tiny fraction of applicants are admitted.

As he pushes into the world of fine arts, Yatora confronts gifted rivals, his own lack of experience, and the challenge of earning his parents’ understanding. With only a handful of openings in his chosen program, he has to prove his potential through effort, growth, and the work he leaves on the canvas.
