Description

Let's start a band! Yukari is all fired up about playing the drums after hearing a certain teatime-loving band play at the Sakuragaoka High School Festival! She makes big plans with her best friend, Kaede, only to run into a wall: Her school doesn't have a Pop Music Club!

But after the duo use their momentum to bring in a pair of quirky girls (a basketball player and a pop music "researcher"), nothing stands in their way! Except, that is, the fact that none of them own their instruments or even know how to play them.

K-ON! Shuffle, Vol. 1 by Stephen Paul, Rachel Pierce, and Kakifly Kakifly is a delightful journey of forming a band from scratch, capturing the excitement and challenges along the way.
