Record Journey Vol.2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781787749795)

Enjoy stories that move the needle, and not just because a record is spinning. Unravel journeys connected by music, beginning with a record shop in the heart of Tokyo.

Record Journey Vol. 2 continues Ryoichiro Kezuka's unforgettable exploration of the quiet magic found in vinyl, memory, and the everyday lives of people from all over the globe. Presented in English for the first time, this volume deepens the series' tender, introspective storytelling with a new set of emotionally rich encounters.

In this volume, the stories expand far beyond the record shop nestled between Tokyo's busy streets, all connected by music's unexpected power to shape lives. A small store becomes an impromptu haven for a famous band passing through on tour; a clandestine pirate radio signal reaches someone living under quiet oppression; and the very voices behind that radio are forced to flee, discovering new lands, and new sounds, along the way. Each tale stands alone yet harmonizes with the others, creating a layered exploration of how music travels, transforms, and brings people together.

Originally crafted during Kezuka's early independent period, these stories showcase his signature blend of detailed artwork, subtle emotion, and a deep appreciation for musical culture. Fans of slice-of-life manga, understated drama, and beautifully drawn storytelling will find themselves right at home once more.

Record Journey Vol. 2 is an essential continuation for readers who loved the first volume and for fans of all music. It's also a poignant reminder of how a simple record can change everything.
