lipi Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 You left out the best part: Universal Music Japan has released two albums to accompany the manga. There's an excerpt from one of the albums in this short article: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/10/09/video-jazz-themed-manga-blue-giant-pvs-feature-famous-jazz-tunes I can't comment on the musical quality, because it sounds like "weird modern shit" to me. (Translation for you hip folks: "it doesn't sound like cartoon music, so I don't care for it".) Also, there's a fan translation (questionable legality, but then again, there's no official English translation that I can find) online here: https://mangadex.com/manga/16542 Scroll to the bottom of that page.

Quasimado Posted February 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Thanks for that. It's on Youtube too. Nice - he listens to Cannonball, Getz, Rollins and Lester.
