Blue Period 1

Its a seinen ,definitely a good read love the size of the paperback just like Tokyo ghoul not like the small shonen jump mangas but more or less a good manga to consider

Liked the anime and the art style of the manga.

it was delivered before the estimated date and came in great condition and sturdy package !about the book, this is definitely my most favourite manga, the book is quite bigger than most manga volumes btw and the first colored pages are all glossy,, overall really pretty !! <33

A wonderful story about finding your passion, success and even anxiety to follow before and after achieving your goal.

The media could not be loaded.  I wanted this beauty in my collection so beautiful i love it and about the packaging it could have been better 🐢

Just few scratches/tear at the bottom edge was in fine condition otherwise

🌟4.5🌟I want to gush so much about this one, I wouldn't know where to start.I read it was about art and I immediately picked it up. I’m no artist but have always had a strong adoration for all things related to it. The world is made worth living by- Musicians, Writers & Artists. It’s a fact. I don’t make rules.The story is about a second-year high school student Yatora Yaguchi who is a delinquent but studies hard for ranks so that he can get into good college. He soon realizes how he’s burning out trying to please everyone else around him and just then--art enters his life.Now, would he keep art as a hobby and stay focused on his goal of a prestigious college and good life or make a risqué decision of changing his career goals when there are only 600 days to entrance test?descriptionLet’s start with the plot. I absolutely loved it! The way story progresses is captivating and entertaining. There’s humor, banter and enough momentum along with heavy chaos to keep you reading.I liked Yatora immediately because I related to his character. So much.“Here are a few tips to ensure a smooth relationship: Tell people what they want to hear. Don’t focus on yourself, make sure they are having fun in the conversation. At least that the only way I know how to communicate.”He goes from this to the one who slowly learns to express and expose himself through art. The character development of Yatora is heartwarming. Even side characters have so much personality and story to them and the little character notes at the end are just perfect enough to excite the readers, I’ll patiently wait for the next volume! Before I forget- Kudos to the artist for an effort to draw characters in a groundbreaking way- (read: not all girls petite and small with some chubby chicks thrown in for variety and Yuka-chan, a trans girl!)It lays out quite a few heavy matters in a light that’re always somewhere on a student’s mind. Just to name a few—pressure to select a suitable future path, Passion vs Money?, Hobby vs Career?, BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO YET!, parent’s support and peer pressure, jealousy and self-doubts.This manga is not to be missed, especially if you are an artist or an art student. It packs so much of interesting information ranging from use of complimentary colors to famous Japanese art universities and their admission criteria and sketching perspectives to ways to dilute oil paints.Towards the middle it does get a bit heavy with all this info that can irk few readers.It made me realize why I’d started drawing all those years ago and now I want to rekindle my love with it again.💖Thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for this eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Great book it looks beautiful with my other manga collection but honestly the packing needs to be better as the cover was damaged please be careful with it

The media could not be loaded.  Fast shipping, I ordered it 3-4 days ago, I got it. Safe and sound even though it was raining outside.

chegou certinho e até mais cedo, muito lindo, chegou em bom estado, amei(só pra quem for comprar os livros são embalados de uma forma bem simples até demais que podem até danificar durante o envio, no meu caso ocorreu praticamente nada, mas pode ocorrer então cuidado) sério tenham cuidado com a embalagem e com os produtos

The media could not be loaded.  El envío llegó en tiempo y forma, y sin ningun daño. La edición está linda, me gustó el papel y el tamaño del tomo. Blue period tiene un dibujo muy lindo y una gran historia.

Blue Period is really gorgeous and relates to anyone who enjoys art. The protagonist, Yatora, is super fake. He's crafted a personality and demeanor that is effortlessly cool and charismatic, he cares a lot about his studies but makes it look like it comes naturally, and makes his life as efficient as possible so that he can coast into a good college, get a good job, and bask in his success. And that all falls apart when he discovers art as a means to express himself, not the carefully currated person he portrays. Its actually a really emotional and exciting moment when you see him develop this passion.This manga is really special. I love how Yatora's growth as an artist is very gradual and realistic. He doesn't have any talent in the beginning. Through enthusiasm, relentless practice, and studying, Yatora slowly develops his skills. A lot of beginning artists could learn a lot from some of the tips talked about in this book too.I want to get this book for all my artist friends. Reading it gets me into a creative mood and I'm definitely getting the next volumes too.

I finally got volume 1 to add to my collection! Blue period is such a great read and inspirational for artists. I can't express how much I love it. The manga was sent in great condition and no damage. Thank you!! 💗
