ブルーピリオド

Life and priorities change for listless high schooler Yatora when he sees his classmate's painting and discovers an appreciation and talent for art.

Yatora enters the art club. Over summer break he takes part in special training to improve his skills after switching his college choice to art school.

Yatora joins Yuka for extra lessons at Tokyo Art Institute. He has an artistic breakthrough when visiting a museum with his strange new classmates.

TAI's night students join the intimidating afternoon classes to gear up for the next competition as the stress of art exams weigh on Yatora's friends.

As exams near, Oba intensifies training. Yatora struggles to articulate abstract concepts, so Saeki encourages him to use a larger canvas for fun.

Yatora experiments with various tools to find a secret weapon that will boost his art while exam stress begins to wear on the students' health.

Oba tells Yatora his weakness, which sends him spiraling. But a heart-to-heart with a close friend reignites his confidence as the first exam begins!

The first exam subject is "self-portrait." A mishap gives Yatora the hint he needs; Oba takes the class to a museum before exam results are announced.

Three move on to the second exam, including Yatora, who must master "color." Yatora worries after Yuka gets a seedy job and refuses to go to art school.

Yuka and Yatora head to Odawara and bare their souls and bodies, hoping to overcome their personal challenges with art and their surrounding fears.

After drawing his own body, Yatora is ready for the second exam: a nude model. But when his health declines from stress, Oba offers a secret weapon.

The second exam is in full swing. Yatora struggles with illness and an unclear theme when sudden inspiration delivers answers and a final secret weapon.
