Description: Shamisen is a traditional Japanese musical instrument that looks similar to a guitar. Teenager Sawamura Setsu’s grandfather who raised him and his older brother Wakana, recently passed away. His grandfather was one of the greatest Shamisen players and the two siblings grew up listening to him play and learning to play the instrument.

Since the grandfather’s death, Setsu dropped out of high school, moved to Tokyo and has been drifting, not knowing what to do besides play his Shamisen. That’s when his successful and rich mother, Umeko storms into his life and tries to shape Setsu up. She enrolls him back into high school but little does Setsu know that he is about to rediscover his passion for Shamisen.

Nominated for the 4th Manga Taisho Award (2011).

Wow, translation is so wrong... >.<

Well, still kudos to anyone willing to do that difficult and ungrateful work...

that's the problem when casual scanlators work on mangas that focus on a specific form of art or sport that requires knowledge of the language used. Wishes for a more serous scanlator to pick it up =D

 

 

It´s not dropped...

I don't mean to be offensive but if it's not dropped then what is it? it's been over 3 years

if it's serialized in monthly shounen magazine, then it's definitely shounen
i'm pretty sure kodansha wouldn't mistake the genre to the degree of serializing shoujo manga there
Ragawa Marimo is mostly known for her shoujo (and yaoi?!) but this. is. shounen.
If this is shounen, then I'm the god Quetzalcoatl.
And I already checked, I don't have feathers.
This is shoujo.
says shonen
drawing is shoujo
content is ??
