Blue Giant Omnibus Vols. 1-2

Miyamoto Dai, a student with a taste for basketball, changes his life the first time he sees a live jazz performance. The incredible music strikes a chord deep inside him, 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 from Shinichi Ishizuka, compiled into five omnibus volumes for its English debut, is a pitch-perfect drama about the power of music.

"Ishizuka's page-turner applies the gung-ho spirit of action manga to an unlikely subject: jazz music... Combining optimistic storytelling with intense emotion, this bighearted musical celebration is a delight." --Publishers Weekly
