Blue Period 9

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... MOSAIC Summer whizzes by like a typhoon, and Yatora has learned that large-scale pieces-in production and concept-only come together with elbow grease and teamwork. TUA opens its gates once more for the second term and Yatora's back at it… But he hasn't picked up a brush in months!
