Blue Giant #5

A young saxophonist stretches skyward mid-performance on this striking cover, lit dramatically against a darkened stage with a grand piano anchoring the scene — a visual that perfectly captures the passion and ambition at the heart of Blue Giant. Creator Ishizuka Shinichi's ongoing jazz manga continues with volume 5, following Miyamoto Dai on tenor saxophone alongside pianist Sawabe Yukinori and drummer Tamada Shunji. If you've been riding the emotional highs of this series, this volume promises to keep the music — and the feeling — soaring.
