Cover: After losing the lives of his wife and child in exchange for incredible guitar talent in just one night, RJ leaves on a trip with the "Devil"! The legendary bluesman Robert Johnson, who is famous for "selling his soul to the Devil at a crossroads." The genius story manga based on the mysterious life of the grandfather of all pop music continues! Continuing on from the previous volume's trailblazing more-than-just-music story, we dive straight into a nightmarish noir-influenced world. The American South in the early 1930s. The black bluesman who died and became a legend, and the white gangster who died and became a legend. Will the chance meeting of these two unknown young men bring fortune or disaster to them both?!
Inside Flap: There was a bluesman who disappeared from the world nearly 70 years ago, after leaving only 29 songs behind. In the decades since, his name has become a legend, and his blues have become the roots of all kinds of pop music. All who knew this bluesman called him thus...
"The man who sold his soul to the devil"!
