青のオーケストラ [Ao no Ōkesutora] #10

A confident young violinist stands alone in a sunlit classroom, instrument in hand and bow at his side, radiating quiet ambition against a backdrop of empty desks and a pale blue sky. Ao no Ōkesutora ("Blue Orchestra") captures the bittersweet solitude of a musician finding his path, and volume 10 looks to carry that emotional resonance beautifully. Makoto Akui's series continues to be one of the most heartfelt music manga in Shogakukan's lineup.
