Young musicians on the run from the law. And the mob. Trapped in a world of revenge, extortion and lost souls -- only their music can save them. That’s the basic premise of Allan Gross and Joanna Estep’s
Roadsong, an Original English Language (OEL) manga from TOKYOPOP in January 2006.
“
Roadsong is a story about friendship,” Estep told Newsarama. “It follows the lives of two boys (Monty and Simon), who would otherwise be enemies, and illustrates the harrowing circumstances under which they become friends. Framed for the murders of their own families, they have to run away together, and realize that the only family that they have left is each other.”
