Shiori Experience Chapter 1 -
I have no idea how the rest of the manga will turn out but chapter 1 was awesome.
Growing up, Shiori's idol was her older brother. He's the one who got her into music. However, he took out a huge loan in order to start his music career, then skipped out when that failed. That debt sent Shiori's family into poverty. Shiori became a plain-Jane teacher who only cared about saving money. She buried her dreams of being a rock musician and turned into a shell of her previous self and a joke among the students.
That is, until her 27th birthday, when she met the ghost of a very famous guitarist.
The way she was picked on and mocked made me feel so bad for her, especially considering how she'd made herself forget her own dreams. Even her own family remarked that they'd forgotten what her smile looked like. Watching her lose herself while playing guitar for the first time in years was honestly moving.
