Synopsis

Shiori was once a guitarist in a light music club in high school, but her first live performance was dashed when her brother ran away from home with a lot of debt to become a musician in Tokyo.

A decade later, Shiori is now a high school teacher, leading a boring, uneventful life and paying off the debt...until she runs into the ghost of none other than famous guitarist Jimi Hendrix.

The story of a 27-year-old woman on her way to becoming a music legend begins here.

I've been reading manga daily since 2016, at the time of writing this review i have almost 100 mangá completed and this is probably the most fun i've had with the media.

The characters are so damn compelling, the story hits you right on your feelings, the artwork is phenomenal, it is funny, entertaining, wholesome. Although it is a seinen, don't expect sexual violence or these kinds of stuff that's usually in seinen mangá. This is a Soft Seinen mangá.

The worst part is that i'm not even a huge rock fan, i was always the more kind of hip-hop guy when i was younger. My ... dad was a big David Bowie stan but that was it. Unfortunately to me - the first "Jimi Hendrix Experience" i had was back when i first started reading manga in early 2017 with the non animated at the time Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 5, Vento Aureo. Fugo, one of the side characters in Vento Aureo, has a stand named after Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze. That's when i first heard him.

Fast-forward some years and i read a mangá about his story, some nerd curiosities about him like he being just so good that he covered a certain Beatles song after only hearding it once. Some really neat stuff.

Be aware that the story isn't about Jimi Hendrix, it is about the emancipation of Shiori Honda, our main character, and hers students, or like i grew up used to because of One Piece, her nakamas. If they suffer, they suffer together, if they cry, they cry together, if they smile, they smile together. It is just such a cute message.

The bad part is that the english scanlator is pretty behind the monthly (i believe it is a monthly release). The latest chapter available as of right now is chapter 36 from Volume 8 and there's already a volume 14.

One thing though, there are some mangá that no matter how great, won't ever become a anime series, some because of author reasons like Yotsuba, some because a anime simply wouldn't suit the story like in Oyasumi Punpun, and in this case they would need to have so many copyright licenses to play Jimi Hendrix stuff and Nirvana stuff.

There's a pro to never having a anime adaptation, though. The songs the main characters present will always be just as mindblowing as they are in their world in your imagination, I don't recommend this as a first time mangá exactly because of this, i think some people will be turned off because they have to actually think to enjoy this a little more.

The art and panneling in this mangá are simply breathtaking.

Please, give this a read. Remember you don't need to enjoy rock to enjoy this, to enjoy a superb story.

I love this manga. It has a fair amount of tropes and the premise is hamfisted in the beginning, but it really mirrors the struggle of following your passion. Maybe I'm reading this at just the right time in my life, but if you're someone who struggles with the choice to either follow a creative path or take the safer route, this will hit all your buttons.

The characters are flawed, fun, and refreshing. The Rock ghosts feel very unique and there are a lot of call backs to people to love their music/personalities.

Art really surprises me by being out of this ...

Beware:
1) You can start a Band
2) And you can Read this Manga

Though DO NOT DO THE TWO THINGS AT THE SAME TIME!!

It's A Heart Attack.

This is what's happening to me right now. Reading this manga is like starting to play with a band of very good friends, in love with music, and all doing their very best to become great musicians. It's a continuous pleasure. It's like breathing deeply the purest air, with the scent of flowers and the gentle light of a beautiful morning sun.

The Characters are alive -- even the Dead Ones. I'm in love, really. I am intoxicated by the beauty ...
