As with the first two installments of Blue Period, this series is a balm to anyone who has ever struggled with the process of creation. In this volume, the main character's biggest trouble is figuring out composition, finding inspiration, and learning to paint without a reference. As he grows in his artwork through intense practice, it becomes evident that he's getting better in his art, but his insecurities as an artist continue to plague him, much like many artists struggle with on a routine basis.
When it comes to Blue Period Vol. 3, much of the plot follows the same type of storytelling and same style as the two volumes that came before it. If you liked those, this is more of the same, and if you disliked them, well... you won't likely enjoy these either. Lucky for me, I've found a lot of solace as an artist (different medium than the MC) in his continued questions and moments of insecurity and weakness, followed by intense periods of creation, drive, and hope that he can find something special in his new work, and because of that, this series will stay a must-read for me.
