One of Yuhki Kamatani’s many manga series is Boy Soprano, Shonen Note (Hepburn: Shnen Not). From November 2010 until May 2014, it ran in Kodansha’s seinen manga magazine Monthly Morning Two, and its episodes were compiled in eight tank on volumes. The protagonist, Yutaka Aoi, is a boy soprano who enters the world of competitive choir just as his voice begins to change as he hits puberty.
Plot
Talented and unusually attuned to sound, young soprano Yutaka Aoi has won acclaim for his heavenly singing. After beginning middle school, he becomes involved with the school choir, where he meets and becomes friends with other students while competing. He also starts participating in the opera company in town.
This talent, however, is temporary, as his voice will change when he enters puberty. As the school year progresses, Yutaka and his fellow choir members confront their obstacles, and he meets a famous Russian boy soprano who is already losing his high singing voice.
