Blue Period plot recap, spoiler-light
In the anime Blue Period, the studious Yatora Yaguchi is a fairly popular high school student who excels academically yet secretly grapples with deep feelings of emptiness and frustration. While he normally views art as a useless subject, a transformative moment occurs after a night out with his friends. Witnessing the morning scene of Shibuya cast in a striking shade of blue deeply touches him, inspiring his very first drawing for art class.
Later, a visit to his high school art club ignites a powerful sense of passion within him for the very first time. Realizing he wants to dedicate himself to this newfound passion, Yatora decides to pursue art wholeheartedly. He eventually sets a massive goal for his future, aspiring to attend the prestigious Tokyo University of the Arts, commonly known as TUA, after graduation.
Because TUA is a public art university with an extremely low acceptance rate, Yatora faces a daunting challenge. To stand a chance at passing the grueling entrance examination, he understands that he must work extraordinarily hard to catch up and master his craft.
