Blue Period, Vol. 1 by Tsubasa Yamaguchi

3.0

I received this manga from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
I am just not feeling a lot of words pop up while and after I read this manga, so I will keep this one short. This was.. OK.. ish. At times. The MC was always doing things a certain way that worked out best for him, and now he is discovering art. He is wondering if he should pursue it or not. It was quite interesting to see him get more real, more human, less thinking about doing it for x, instead thinking to do something for himself.
There is A LOT of dialogue about art, college, and other things. On the one hand interesting... on the other hand boring.
The art was great at moments... but then weird at other moments. Especially in facial expressions and body movements.
I did love the art teacher and how she helped out our MC.
I did get tired from the whole OMG he is delinquent just because he doesn't look like your normal average guy. I guess years of reading manga/watching anime turned me off from that stuff. I remember first I found it funny (like in Toradora), but by now I just groan and roll my eyes. Come on people.
I found it hilarious that he says his dad can get fined for offering him a drink, but wasn't our MC drinking with his "friends"? So confusing.
