For the first time in English, experience Record Journey Vol. 1, a captivating collection of short stories by Ryoichiro Kezuka that explores the quiet, powerful intersections of music, memory, and everyday life. At the heart of these stories is a young woman working at a small record store in Tokyo. Each story introduces a new visitor to the shop—each with a unique past, a specific record in mind, and an emotional thread waiting to be uncovered. As the needle drops, so do the walls between strangers, revealing bittersweet moments, long-lost connections, and the smooth healing of sound. Originally self-published before Kezuka’s commercial debut, these stories are richly illustrated and emotionally resonant, blending slice-of-life realism with a gentle, introspective tone. Kezuka, also known for Onban Kikou—a manga about forbidden pop music and jukebox mysteries—has carved a distinct place in the world of manga with his love for vinyl culture and human stories. Record Journey is a must-read for music lovers, manga fans, and anyone who’s ever found a memory hiding in a melody.
