A fresh start in the marching band

After moving from Tokyo to Akita, Mizuki steps into unfamiliar territory: a school marching band that demands musical practice and coordinated movement. With no instrument or marching experience, she enters a competitive group through her meeting with trumpet player Akira. The setup brings together the challenge of learning a demanding activity and the possibility of building friendships while adjusting to a new school and town. Presented as a full-color manga, the first volume centers on starting over, trying something new, and finding a place in a team.

Book overview

A new student dreams big and finds inspiration and friendship when she joins the ultra-competitive high school marching band in this full-color manga for fans of The Tryout and Brass & Sass.

 

Mizuki has never played a musical instrument. She's never marched in time with a group (it's harder than it looks!). And she's never spent time on school activities when she could be studying. But after leaving behind her high-stress high school in Tokyo and moving to small-town Akita with her aunt, she's looking for a fresh start. And when she crosses paths with Akira, a cute-but-grumpy trumpet player who introduces her to their school marching band, this may be just the chance she needs to take a leap and find herself.
