ART-MAKING

Yatora prepares for the first-year show, where he'll have to pass an open review from intimidating professors and celebrity guest lecturers.

Praise for Blue Period 10

"Blue Period nails the alienation common to artists and excels at capturing their insecurities, such as how Yataro can't help but compare his work to theirs, his frustration that he can't quite capture what he is trying to say, and his envy of talent. The manga paints emotions with a quick and attentive eye." -Longhand Habits
