はしっこアンサンブル [Hashikko Ensemble]

A warm, character-driven slice-of-life manga from Kōdansha, Hashikko Ensemble (2018–2022) follows a small, quirky chorus club at a technical high school as its members navigate friendship, music, and the everyday challenges of youth. Created entirely by mangaka 木尾士目 (known for Genshiken), this eight-issue series is a compact, heartfelt exploration of how a shared love for singing brings together an unlikely group of students. Its charm lies in its gentle humor and authentic portrayal of the awkward, joyful process of finding one’s voice—both literally and figuratively.
