Exclusive: Titan Manga Licenses Ryoichiro Kezuka's Record Journey Manga

Titan Manga announced on Wednesday that it will release Ryoichiro Kezuka's Record Journey (Onban Kikō) manga on April 28. The first volume of the manga is available for pre-order on Forbidden Planet in the U.K., and will be available on other North American retailers.

Titan Manga describes the story:

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.

Kezuka launched the ongoing manga in Kadokawa's Aokishi magazine in 2021. Kadokawa shipped the third compiled volume of the manga on February 20.

Kezuka initially self-published his Otomachi Record manga series. Kadokawa later published the series in January 2023 and shipped the second volume in February 2023.
