Enjoy stories that move the needle, and not just because a record is spinning. Unravel journeys connected by music, beginning with a record shop in the heart of Tokyo.Record Journey Vol. 2 continues Ryoichiro Kezuka's unforgettable exploration of the quiet magic found in vinyl, memory, and the everyday lives of people from all over the globe.

Fans of slice-of-life manga, understated drama, and beautifully drawn storytelling will find themselves right at home once more.Record Journey Vol. 2 is an essential continuation for readers who loved the first volume and for fans of all music. It's also a poignant reminder of how a simple record can change everything.
