Japan, 1980. It's an era where the fashion and culture of young people are in full bloom. And Moyuru Hono is entering his first year at the Osaka University of Arts. Blue Blazes is a 2014 Japanese live-action comedy based on the manga by Kazuhiko Shimamoto about his time at college, and the friendships and rivalries he developed on his path to becoming a mangaka. Despite being live action, Blue Blazes takes many production cues from the world of anime and manga to create something that feels both foreign and familiar.
