Blue Period has been nominated for and won several awards. It was nominated for the 12th Manga Taisho awards in 2019, before winning the 13th Manga Taisho awards in 2020. It was also nominated for the 24th Annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2020. Blue Period also won the Best General Manga Award in the 44th Kodansha Manga Awards in 2020.
Kodansha describes the first volume as such:
Yatora is the perfect high school student, with good grades and lots of friends. It’s an effortless performance, and, ultimately…a dull one. But 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 and unforgiving art can be!
