Music of My Heart - Volume 4

In 1980s Tokyo, childhood friends Yuuji, Ryuuichi, and Takuya have decided to form a band. Despite long being united by their interest in music, however, the stresses of high school and growing up have begun to take a toll on their bond. Ryuuichi is torn between his desire to pursue music and his parents’ expectation that he’ll go to college and start a normal career, while Yuuji begins to butt heads more frequently with opinionated Takuya. But everything changes when transfer student Matsushima Yasunao blows them out of the water with his guitar and vocal skills, becoming a welcome distraction from the tension. With the revelation that he’s not only secretly the front man of local visual rock sensation K-Virus, but is planning on quitting the band, the guys realize he might just be the right person to front their group for a while – or even permanently. The only thing standing in the way? Ryuuichi discovering a brand new emotion that’s even stronger than his anxiety about singing in public – jealousy. Collects chapters 21-28 of the comic series, plus bonus material.
