When I read the first 10 chapters of the manga I had read them without having any jazz on because i thought it would be distracting, but the second i put on jazz and continued reading the manga i realized that it wasn't distracting but instead added to the enjoyment. I was more immersed in the manga, it was as if i could feel the characters dedication and enjoyment whilst playing jazz.
The Art
The art in the manga fits in so well, especially whenever someone is playing an instrument. The reason why i think it fits in so well is because whenever a character isn't playing an instrument the art looks more refined, but when a character starts playing the instrument the art becomes rougher as if the character was really improvising and the because of that the art just hit different and you started to feel as if you were there.
The Story
The story is very enjoyable because you're actually able to see the character's struggles (especially Shunji Tamada) and their passion for jazz grow. The story is enjoyable and I find it really good but thats my opinion. I don't have alot to add to the story because i've basically used up all my words on the previous paragraphs.
The Conclusion.
If you like jazz and want to read a good manga about music then Blue Giant is perfect for you, especially if you can speak Japanese because then you can also read the sequels.
The story feels very passionate, it made me even want to learn saxophone (even though I suck at music & music theory)
__ART 10/10
STORY 10/10
FEELING 10/10
OVERALL 10/10__ (I am a bit biased though because i like jazz)
There is one meme that perfectly encapsulates what I felt after catching up to the translated chapters.

Sorry if the review wasn't that easy to read as this was my first time writing a review.
Blue Giant is now receiving an official release done by Seven Seas Entertainment. Now we just have to play the patience game for the translation to be fully completed, and then hope they move onto the sequels too.
