Blue Period 11
Blue Period 11 | Tsubasa Yamaguchi
1 post
Winner of the 2020 Manga Taisho Grand Prize! A manga about the struggles and rewards of a life dedicated to art. Popular guy Yatora realizes he's just going through the motions to make other people happy and finds himself in a new passion: painting. But untethering yourself from all your past expectations is dangerous as well as thrilling... Yatora studies hard and gets good grades, and he parties hard, staying out late drinking and watching soccer with his friends. He checks all the boxes he needs to be the perfect high school student. But it all starts to feel empty, and he begins to wonder what part of his life expresses who he is...or even if he has a unique voice at all. Then he wanders into the art room one day, and a lone painting captures his eye, awakening him to a kind of beauty he never knew. Compelled and consumed, he dives in headfirst--and he's about to learn how savage, unforgiving, and exhilirating creating art can be!

Good reading month, with a lot of manga.
Still reading the Blue Period series. Even if some books are less interesting than others, I really enjoy following the journey of the main character through art school in Japan.
Why I love it so much? Because it shows you the actual struggle of artists, the self-doubt, the good and bad sides, with at moments, the main character hating art.
