TV anime Blue Period Story

Yatora Yaguchi is in his second year of high school and enjoys his everyday life playing with his friends. He studies well and is good at dealing with things smoothly.

Everyone wants to live the best possible life… and Yatora himself has always felt empty inside himself somehow. One day Yatora was captured by a painting in an art room and found that he was able to express his feelings honestly for the first time. He also discovered the joy of art and started to draw in his sketchbooks on impulse. And finally, Yatora decided on his college choice for art school. The competitive ratio for the art school is 200x. It is only 650 days till the entrance exam!
