Blue Period - Rant/Thoughts

I just binge read Blue Period (which is currently at Chapter 48) earlier this week, and just. Wow. Going to put my thoughts down in writing while it's still fresh in my memory.

Yatora is painfully relatable. Seriously, I shed tears more than once while reading. Not because anything particularly sad happens, but because I've felt the same way so many times, and it really touched something in me to see it all laid out on paper.

This manga is absolutely fantastic. There's a ton of dialogue and characters (and there's definitely a sense of excitement for what's going to happen next plot-wise), but the bulk of what you read is what's going on in Yatora's head. It gets you to know the character really intimately in a way I haven't really felt reading manga before - something more akin to what you'd get from a novel.

He feels like he's spent his whole life lacking some kind of fire in him. Like his day-to-day is just mostly pretending and being agreeable since people around him wouldn't like him if he was true to himself (and he doesn't know what being "true to himself" really entails, either). He sets hard goals for himself and typically reaches them through a lot of hard work. But whenever he does reach a goal, he feels like an imposter (like he's lacking something others have inside of them, and that he's fooled people into thinking he has it too), like he could've done better. Lost now he's reached his goal (What's his next one? And why is he setting those goals in the first place? What does he even get out of it once he reaches them? He doesn't know, but he wants to find out).

His journey isn't linear either. He makes breakthrough realizations, then doubts them. He alternates between feeling bad for being insecure, then feeling bad for being arrogant about thinking anything positive about his own skills. He's never as miserable as when he makes something good that's well received, because the happiness he feels is quickly replaced by doubt - can he do it again? Was it good in the first place? Did he trick people into thinking it was good?

Does he even like what he's doing and working towards?

Ahh, just. The self-doubt. The shaky sense of self. The working tirelessly towards reaching that something, then doubting why you're chasing it in the first place. The wins often somehow feeling worse than the losses. Like I said - relatable.

Yatora's story may be about art on the surface, but it's also about so much more. I think anyone who has a similar personality and similar struggles will really relate to him and be moved by the story, even if what they're working towards is a completely different creative medium or a corporate career.

idk man,, like I knew this wasn't gonna be top quality when it came to the production and all, but I can't help being disappointed. I don't wanna be the one complaining about every aspect because it's not like it was all bad or smth, I simply feel that a story such as Blue Period deserved a better adaptation.

ok a bit of a small rant but the way the blp fandom talks about some of the parents that we've been introduced to (namely yota's mom, shouya's mom and sae's dad) annoys me slightly. not that these characters shouldn't be criticised, because they obviously show some pretty bad parenting towards their kids, and I'm definitely not trying to argue in their defense or anything like that. the thing is that these parents aren't abusive monsters that deserve to get beat up, and they don't need to be that to be able to hurt their kids, which they've done. I appreciate Blue Period for giving us realistic examples of how bad parenting can affect negatively the children it's directed to without having the parents be the sometimes over the top evil that for some reason have it out for their kids. That type of abuse can be a real thing but there are also other more nuanced ways in which a parent can, sometimes even unknowingly, seriously hurt their kids. shit parenting doesn't always have to be in the form of a tragic backstory so the audience can all hate this one person to still be shit parenting. kinda blowing this out of proportion but yeahh...we can still curse them out without being too extreme about it folks.
