Manga's 1st volume shipped last week
Indonesian publisher Elex Media Komputindo released the first volume of Makoto Akui's The Blue Orchestra (Ao no Orchestra) manga last Wednesday.
Elex Media describes the manga:
In the fall of his third and final year of middle school, Hajime Aono, a violin prodigy, stopped playing violin for his own personal reasons. But it was also that year when he got to know a girl who told him about a high school with a prestigious school orchestra. Suddenly, the gears in the clock of Aono's life began to turn again. This is the story of a youth drama that brings forth the harmony between music and the heart!
Akui launched the manga in Shogakukan's Manga ONE app in 2017, and Shogakukan published the manga's fifth compiled book volume on January 18.
Akui previously drew the manga adaptation of The Anthem of the Heart anime film in Manga ONE from 2015 to 2016. Shogakukan published four compiled book volumes for the manga.
