Synopsis
Miyamoto Dai, a student with a passion for basketball, changes his life the first time he sees a live jazz performance. The incredible music touches him deeply, and he immediately decides to dedicate himself to the saxophone. He has no skills, no formal training, and no idea what he's up against, but his obsession drives him to play that instrument day after day. Will passion be enough to become the player of his dreams? This award-winning manga by Shinichi Ishizuka, compiled into five omnibus volumes for its English-language debut, is a perfect drama about the power of music.
