From the fall anime “Blue Period”, the outline and sneak peek of episode 5 “I Know What To Do, I Just Don’t Know If I Can Do It” (begins broadcasting on Saturday, October 30) have been revealed.

“Blue Period” is based on an art/coming-of-age manga written by Yamaguchi Tsubasa, which is currently serialized in “Monthly Afternoon”.
Yaguchi Yatora is a high school student, who has good grades and belongs to the higher caste at his school, but is feeling inner emptiness and frustrations for some reason. The story follows him getting dedicated to the beautiful yet harsh world of art after he was fascinated by a painting.

Episode 5 is titled “I Know What To Do, I Just Don’t Know If I Can Do It”.
It’s already November. At the prep school, the students form small groups to practice for the actual examination. However, Yatora struggles with an image assignment without any motif. Meanwhile, Ryuji is distressed by the conflict with his parents, who don’t understand him.

The two run into each other in the art room at their high school, and go to Musashino Art University to visit Mori-senpai together.

Episode 5 “I Know What To Do, I Just Don’t Know If I Can Do It” begins broadcasting from October 30 on the nationwide MBS/TBS franchised 28 networks.
