The upcoming new Blue Period anime got a cast reveal, a short promo video, a beautiful key visual and a premiere date today.

The latest Blue Period key visual (see above) shows off protagonist Yatora. A high school student who unexpectedly falls in love with art after coming across a painting.
It is only then he realizes what a beautiful medium it can be but, of course, not one without its challenges.
The Blue Period anime is based on the coming-of-age manga by Tsubasa Yamaguchi, and will premiere in October this year.
