Legend has it that Robert Johnston, a once mediocre guitarist went to The Crossroads and made a deal with the Devil. He came back from that night a remarkable, legendary blues guitarist. But as anyone knows, the Devil doesn't make his sweet deals last for long…
Johnston is a mysterious figure in the blues pantheon. Only two photographs exist of him. His few recordings are mesmerizing and compelling even today. But there are many gaps in his biography, which only adds to his mystique.
Now up to 4 volumes and counting, Akira Hiramoto's fictionalized account of Johston's life was originally serialized in Afternoon Magazine, a seinen manga anthology published by Kodansha Ltd.
