Blue Period Episode 6 Recap
Yaguchi receives a phone call from Yotasuke, who asks him to meet up. However, Yaguchi's former classmate hangs up abruptly without yielding the reason for his call and without arranging anything after all. To his mother, Yotasuke says that Yaguchi refused to meet him.
As the winter break approaches, things get intense for the aspiring artists. Oba-sensei gives them Christmas cake only to have them make a still life out of it before eating it, while the many assignments promise little rest. Yaguchi controversially asks for ten extra assignments, but Oba only gives him five, urging him to spend the rest of the time experimenting.
New Year finds Yaguchi in unexpected company; Yotasuke, who once again asks him to meet, this time going through with it. Yotasuke reveals that he dislikes Yaguchi because he has everything in life on top of his painting, while Yatosuke feels he only has his art.
For his part, Yaguchi likes Yotasuke, while simultaneously disliking him with an intensity he can't quite understand. This largely stems from Yotasuke's seemingly effortless talent, with Yaguchi envies. Not the noblest of feelings, but definitely relatable for anyone who has ever felt similarly for a colleague who seems to do so much better without even trying.
Back in class after the new year, Yaguchi has an honest discussion with Kuwana, a classmate whose sister is also an article and has always felt that others compare their styles and talent. The two come closer, as they both have some jealousy and confidence issues to unpack.
As the exams approach, the students' struggles intensify, from hives to a hospitalization that reminds us what a stressful and unhealthy time this can be for those lacking support networks. Yaguchi is nevertheless more determined than ever to perform well. Will it be enough?
