Story. Me & the Devil Blues is Akira Hiramoto's take on the life of the famous bluesman, Robert Johnson. Rather than make a strict manga biography, Hiramoto takes all the larger-than-life legends about Johnson's life (i.e. meeting the Devil at a crossroads and selling his soul to make great music) and blows them up, adding his own details to the story until it becomes magical. Good times. Since 2003, 3 volumes.
Status. Due to its very unlikely and happy licensing, and the fact that it's such a short series at this point, I've decided to drop this project. Please check out the Del Rey edition once it is out!
Volume 1 : Cross Road Blues
Volume 2 : 32-20 Blues
Volume 3 : If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day
