B – Brahms 20-sai no Tabiji

B – Brahms 20-sai no Tabiji

A manga about a young Johannes Brahms traveling with violinist Ede Reményi.

This series is strange. The main story happens concurrently with a modern high school student discovering the music of Brahms and trying to get with a girl who loves classical music. Even the main story suffers from spending a large chunk of the backstory on some side characters. If you’re doing a biographical manga about Brahms then just focus on him! Especially because this is only 3 volumes long.

Waste of what could’ve been an interesting bio-manga.
