Blue Period Manga Takes Hiatus Until Next Spring

Blue Period Manga Takes Hiatus Until Next SpringBlue Period manga-ka Tsubasa Yamaguchi will be taking a period of time off from work.

The latest issue of Afternoon magazine, where Blue Period is published, has announced that Blue Period will be on hiatus until spring 2024. The manga is now in its seventh year, having debuted in 2017, and currently has 15 volumes out. Yeah, sounds like a bit of a break is in order!

Blue Period, which has won a bunch of awards, was adapted into an anime series in 2021 and a play in 2022.

Sounds like from now until spring is a great period to catch up on the Blue Period manga!

Here’s how Kodansha describes it:

Yatora is the perfect high school student, with good grades and lots of friends. It’s an effortless performance, and, ultimately … a dull one. But he wanders into the art room one day, and a lone painting captures his eye, awakening him to a kind of beauty he never knew. Compelled and consumed, he dives in headfirst—and he’s about to learn how savage and unforgiving art can be!
