"Blue Period" Vol. 1 is a gem of a find—one that speaks to anyone who has ever felt the pull of creativity but struggled with self-doubt and direction. Following Yatora’s journey from detached high schooler to aspiring artist, this story beautifully captures the thrill, frustration, and deep introspection that comes with discovering a passion for art. The way it blends technical insights with emotional storytelling makes it a standout, especially for those who love visual art. For me, this book reignited my love for reading and creativity, making it all the more special. A must-read for artists, dreamers, and anyone on the edge of taking that first leap into the unknown.
