They say art flourishes with turmoil, and Blue Period’s Yatora Yaguchi and Ryuuji Ayukawa definitely got that memo. Yaguchi’s insecurities feed a lot of the angst in the show. He relies quite a bit on learned social skills and is pretty much just going through the motions of what he thinks he should do till he discovers what he wants to do, that is, oil painting. A naturally hard-working and high-achieving individual, Yaguchi is often frustrated by what he perceives as his own inability to perform in comparison to the standard of what he considers ideal. As if that isn’t enough pressure, his parents don’t seem to fully understand his decision to pursue art. Aah, family friction, you familiar foe!
Meanwhile, Ryuji, better known as Yuka-chan, has their own problems. Yuka-chan’s family seems to be at odds with their decisions regarding their gender identity, expression, and sexual orientation. This family turmoil and the difficulties of finding a place of belonging in relationships feed into Yuka’s anxieties and insecurities, leaving them understandably distressed. All this pressure from society and family is totally internalised in our two MCs, leaving them with a hurricane of angst. We really hope these two can work their way through the eye of the storm with some cathartic artistic expression (Picasso it with some expressionism, you guys! ).
