Blue Giant #1

A young tenor saxophonist — identified on the cover as Miyamoto Dai — stands against a stark black background, instrument raised and breath pouring into the bell, rendered in Shinichi Ishizuka's clean, confident linework. That single figure, lit in cool blue against the darkness, sets the tone perfectly for a series about raw musical ambition. If you've ever felt music in your chest before you heard it with your ears, volume one of Blue Giant is exactly where you want to start.
