❈I'm writing this while the mangá is in chapter 27, so... if in the next chapter the author just threw away the entire story and put some moon queen coming out of a shinobi's body... i don't have nothing to do with it.

❈I'm gonna already start saying that Blue Period is one of the most, (with potencial to be the most) immersive mangá i ever read, the chapters has around 40 pages, and i realized that only in chapter 6, and just because i went to see the comments, cause it's so enveloping and holds you in that you're not gonna realize that it's not a usual 20 pages mangá. I already can say that i'm just waiting some more chapters to release to give the 10.And i'm comparing Blue Period to Act-Age because i found it just when i finished Act-Age and was feeling devastated due to the "end"... and then I looked for similar mangas here in Anilist. And mannn, Blue Period has the same vibe but it's more immersive and "soft", and less Shounen like Act-Age, but still reminds a lot.So, let's go to the review
Also, i made a review from Act-Age too, so if you want you can see and maybe left a like hehe: https://anilist.co/review/8951
❈<code>➥ About Blue Period (characters, topics, etc):</code>
Blue Period is a mangá that tells the story of Yaguchi Yatora, a second-year guy, he is that famous type of character with the design of a "delinquent" but still being pretty smart, nice, gentle, handsome, the perfect guy. But right in the beginning he already find himself in love with art and joins the art club.And then start the mangá, telling the story of Yatora, showing him wanting to enter in the famous Geidai University, and showing us his development changing his opinions, his way to see the world, etc. And not only that, they introduce us a lot of good and charismatic characters like Kuwana, Mori-senpai, Yotasuke, the sensei's, all of them with their issues and stuff, and the other that has more scene time, Ryuji, that... i'm not gonna tell cause it would be a spoiler hehe.The drama and philosophy are very good too (it's basically the main theme), englobes self acceptance, LGBT+ issues, etc, all in a deeply way, you see those issues in a lot of angles making you think a lot about, very very very nice.And what is nice too is that Blue Period teaches A LOT about art, i literally learned more here than in my school haha. They teaches us about dessin, oil painting, themes, colors, compositions, perspective, different tools that you can draw and a lot more, that part is very nice. Oh, and they use real paints, so this is a huge point to be more and more immersive, this mangá has that type of charm that haikyuu have, like you want to play volley when you read haha (draw in that case)
❈<code>➥ The art:</code>
The art is gorgeous, wonderful, and unique, there's times that Tsubasa make the traits like if is a "true art", not like a normal mangá (mangá is art too, you understood). The character design and the traits are very detailed, the author can make the saddest scenes, the painful scenes and the angry scenes SO perfect, you feel everything with Yatora and the other characters.There's a specific scene when Yatora drew himself naked (not showing that part) and it was so detailed, i was very impressed.And about the paints, like i said before, Tsubasa takes real paints and put in the mangá, making this extremely more immersive. A funny point is that sometimes the characters show the paints and compare them, and we (people who don't know anything about art) can't differentiate and say which one is better ahhaha.
❈<code>➥ Conclusion (just go read Blue Period):</code>
As i said in the title, Blue Period can be a masterpiece, Blue Period can be what Act-Age failed to be (due to the author). I really want to see what is gonna happen with the going of this mangá.Now a fun fact, you all know Yoasobi right? That famous japanese singer, that sings the opening of the 2 season of Beastars, etc. So, the song "Ultramarine" (that i'm gonna release the link right below) was inspired in this mangá, in Blue Period, very nice./anime/127044/gunjou
