Goze Hotaru: That Sound Most Blue
It's damn good, go read it.
If you need more information though, Goze Hotaru is by first time mangaka Kou Tosaya, and debuts with an incredible first chapter. A historical fiction centered around the blind musicians known as Goze, it's a beautiful read. Full of wonderful art and expression, brimming with personality, and filled with character and story. It's a series worth reading from the very first page, and for a world of reasons that I detail in the full review on Animehouse.

‘Goze Hotaru’ Manga By Kou Tosaya Announces Final Chapter http://dlvr.it/TDbdS4
0 notes
I read the 21 chapters of Goze Hotaru by Kou Tosaya.
This story is historical fiction about a blind girl who joins a group of similarly blind traveling musicians.
Manga about music can sometimes be hit or miss, because it can be hard to portray the music through just text and images, but the music in this story feels energetic and impactful.
The character's blindness doesn't prevent them from living full and exciting lives, which I think is important representation.
The art and style is also very good.
I enjoyed it a lot, I look forward to the next chapters.

Manga I've read this week
Versus by ONE and Kyoutarou Azuma
Honestly all I needed to start this was finding out it was made by ONE, it's a fantasy story where humanity must defeat the Demon King and the main character is sent out to defeat one of his lords only to be easily defeated. Following his defeat he runs away to run into his brother who informs him that he was merely a distraction for their true plan, summoning another world to defeat the demons for them, however after summoning this other world they find out they have their own existential threat in the form of an infinitely adapting robot army. Not only that, there are actually 13 different worlds that were summoned onto one planet, each with their own "natural enemies" of humanity. Really fun, really violent.
Honeko Akabane's Bodyguards by Masamitsu Nigastu
I started reading this originally the week it first started coming out, but the site I was reading on didn't have any more scans and I dropped it for a while, started it again this week and it's still super fun. The premise is sick and most of the characters are really cool. Unfortunately as it seems like it's gonna be ending soon several of the characters won't get any sort of backstory. It's also a very silly romcom with the main duo not being able to confess, then having 2 love triangles. Sumihiko my beloved.
GALAXIAS by Ao Hatezaka
Only 6 chapters are out, it's got people with dragon tails and gives me kind of early HxH vibes (I can't really think of anything else where the main character finally gets a chance to leave their incredibly isolated home).
GOZE HOTARU by Kou Tosaya
A blind girl learns how to play the shamisen so she can roam the countryside and find her father. NGL I'm like 3 chapters into this one so I don't actually know anything, seems neat though.
