    As someone who graduated from a small fine arts college - this hits home. Such a great story so far. Definitely can recommend this series to a lot of people.

    I wish that more people were part of the scan group so that we could have chapters released more frequently, sadly I don't know nothing about translating so I can't help :(

    This manga makes me wanna risk it all and spend $100,000 on a fine arts degree that I can't use.
    It also makes me want to throw away all my art supplies tho.
    Suggest reading it tbh.

    Since it's been officially licensed, does that mean we won't be getting unofficial scanlations anymore? I just want to understand what happens next in the raws ;_; I'm obsessed with this author's work really skskks

    Also not related to Blue Period, but I hope some group scanlates the author's short BL comic one day: https://comic.pixiv.net/works/2604 looks like a good read!!

    This manga is absolutely spectacular, I hope it gets an official English translation soon because I'd love to own physical copies without paying high import/shipping fees.

    I don't really understand paintings myself. I do think some of them are amazing, but I don't know what are amazing about them.

    But, I don't know why I can't seem to move away from this manga. Its a must read.

    Thanks for the translating team @NorthAway .

    God damn is this manga immersive. Once I started chapter 1, I just had to finish it all in one go.
