Record Journey Vol. 1 by Ryoichiro Kezuka (trans. Jan Mitsuko Cash), 256 pages.
This manga is a collection of short comics about the power of music. In one a girl learns more about her late grandfather from a strange record found in his things; in another young people run a pirate radio station to avoid censorship from an oppressive regime. There are many stories from different decades, but all of them feel thematically linked and cohesive.
I intercepted this book on the way to our new shelf, and I really enjoyed it! It has a very gentle, relaxing tone. I liked the characters and relationships, and thought this was a really nice, low stakes anthology.
