When Does Blue Period’s Live-Action Movie Release

The Blue Period live-action movie will be released in theaters across Japan on Aug. 9. At the time of writing there is no international release date for the movie so it remains to be seen if and when fans in the West will get their chance to watch.

What Is the Plot of the Blue Period Live-Action Film?

The plot of Blue Period will be similar to what fans received when it got the anime treatment back in 2020. It should summarise the start of the series manga which introduces fans to Yatora Yaguchi, a bored high schooler who discovers a passion for painting and pursues a career in art.

Of course, given the length, this won’t follow as closely to the source material as the anime did, but we expect it should be a reasonably faithful adaption.
