Thanks for translating this! What a gem I just found!

Yes, I'm gonna finish out through the volumes that are released... hopefully a new one will come out soon! Two were released in 2019, and one each year before that, but none so far in 2020 .

Now I wish I could listen to their music in an anime someday
Thank you so much for picking this up

I would diiie if this were made into an anime

There is a minor historical composer named "Giovanni Bazzoni," but I think in the manga the composer is based on the (fantastic) Italian cellist-composer, Giovanni Sollima, and I totally headcanon that this is the song that Tetsuo is obsessed with in the first volume: https://youtu.be/lRlPpv0V3BE?t=90 (the older guy playing is Sollima himself)

@Violistofhameln woah thanks for that insight!! I was trying to look for Call of the Cello only to be disappointed that it doesn't exist lol

I'm beyond happy. Thank you so sooo much for picking this masterpiece up

The foreshadowing of Tetsuo going back to stubbornly studying the solfége when he hears Ikumi's natural talent is great. I really like how they made him "fake" the free-floating performance

I am officially obsessed. This is the kind of manga that compels me to read slowly just to savor each and every chapter.

Thank you so much for translating!

@Wheatshizle Same! Though through translating it I get to read each chapter pretty slowly... a whoooole lot... but then it's nice to go back and read it in English!
