Blue Period #3

Tsubasa Yamaguchi's art-school manga continues with a cover that practically feels like a painting in progress — a dark-haired young figure peers sharply over a raised paintbrush, one vivid blue eye locked on the viewer, while a bold sweep of red-orange paint cuts dramatically across the frame and a small bowl of red pigment rests in their outstretched hand. The composition itself mirrors the series' themes, blurring the line between the character and the canvas they're working on. Volume 3 of *Blue Period* is a treat for anyone who loves manga that takes the creative process seriously.
