“Blue Giant Heads to New York: Manga Continues with Film Adaptation and Serialized Adventure”

With a film adaptation, the manga Blue Giant continues its serialization. Its next stop is none other than the American megalopolis.

The musical adventures of Dai Miyamoto, young hero aspiring saxophonist of Blue Giant, experienced a form of consecration with their adaptation on the big screen. Released in Japanese theaters on February 17, the film faced formidable competitors. Rising to eighth position in the box office on the archipelago for its first day, it had to compete with Demon Slayer, The First Slam Dunk or Suzume, three tenors of the genre who broke many records. If the commercial success was only modest, with 5.6 million dollars garnered, it was probably enough to introduce his musical universe to a new audience.
