From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Blue Period (Japanese: ブルーピリオド, Hepburn: Burū Piriodo) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tsubasa Yamaguchi. The series has been serialized in Kodansha 's seinen manga magazine Monthly Afternoon since June 2017 and has been collected in 10 tankōbon volumes as of May 2021.
What saves Blue Period more than anything, though, is the length of its chapters. They average between 40-50 pages each, more than double the length of many manga chapters. This is due to the series being a seinen, which is targeted at an older audience.
While Blue Period does cut material like most other anime, it's done so at the best possible spots. Sizable sections of the first few chapters have been removed for the sake of pacing and keeping the focus on the main characters.
