Blue Giant #3

The third volume of Shinichi Ishizuka's Blue Giant arrives with a cover that says everything about its hero's dedication — Miyamoto Dai, saxophone raised to his lips, expression fierce with concentration as the gleaming brass of his tenor fills the frame. That instrument feels almost as alive as the young man holding it, and the stark, confident design of the cover matches the series' reputation for portraying musical passion with rare intensity. A compelling entry in one of manga's most heartfelt explorations of a young musician's drive.
