Comment on ChapterBlue Period - Chapter 69
Da**, sensei just casually said one of the hardest lines ever. Yatora could have chosen to go to a different university and get a stable job while keeping art as an hobby, that's a different path, a different he**. Him choosing TUA doesn't magically make him happy and determined to become an artist. He has questioned his love for painting so many times after getting admitted that even I am having trouble wondering if it was the right choice for him to pursue art, but then again, nothing ventured nothing gained. 

From what I see, Yatora has forgotten what made him love art in the first place- being able to communicate his true feelings through his art. It's easy to forget when he has to grapple with assignments after assignments and the professors love to rip you apart. 

I hope by the time he graduates, he's able to come to understand all the things that trouble him! Also that scene where he's having an existential crisis at night but gets back to work immediately next morning is too real, no time to mope 😭😂

This is suchhh a good analysis!! Not to mention the whole theme of "permission to scream" with Bacon's works, I feel like we might be headed towards Yatora rediscovering his communication abilities in a stronger new way in this arc :DD
@basil ohh that's true! It'll be great to see Yatora understanding Bacon's works more to finish his piece
