Blue Period Chapter 7 Discussion

Really don't like how they depict art students here. They're really trying shove the sports manga competitiveness into art. While I could be wrong on Japanese art exams and how they work (I only know from Kakukaku Shikajika an some other ones) but it just feels so weird.

Also there's hand-painting but making hand prints on a canvas?? Like I'm not sure what shes making but its baffling that the mc's even surprised like you havent done that in primary school?? It's just so edgy gosh

Any why do these guys even hate each other so much. Is it just Japan? Art school kids are usually very supportive of eachpther and its creepy how condescending everyone is though this is speaking from an international perspective. Japan is very competitive after all. If you want competitive, condescending art students(and those are not really common) I think it would suit fashion more or animation even where competitions actually occur.

Another point: Art is different from maybe an academic subject so 4 art "pordigies/clearly better" in a class of ten wouldnt be that weird but most highschooler art is quite cliche moreso in the context of what this manga is talking about. And why is everyone there hating on Yaguchi, I mean hes just begun art and he's quite good at it (everyone is ofcourse since all the drawings are made by the mangaka's art friends).
