As the sun sets over "Blue Giant Explorer," fans of Shinichi Ishizuka's celebrated jazz manga "Blue Giant" can look forward to a brand-new chapter. As announced in this year's 10th issue of Shogakukan's Big Comic magazine, the manga will begin its "New York Arc."
Shinichi Ishizuka, known for "Gaku - Minna no Yama," introduced "Blue Giant" to the world in May 2013 through Big Comic. The series ran until August 2016 and was nominated for the prestigious Manga Taisho Awards in 2015 and 2016, winning the Grand Prize in the Manga Division of the 20th Japan Media Arts Festival Awards in 2017.
The "Blue Giant" series follows the story of Miyamoto Dai, a student and basketball enthusiast whose life takes a dramatic turn after attending a jazz concert. Inspired by the music, he resolves to learn the saxophone, despite lacking the necessary skills, formal training, or a clear understanding of what lies ahead. Undeterred, his sheer passion drives him to relentlessly pursue musical excellence.
