The young lady x rock youth manga is set in an elite all-girls’ school, where beautiful and refined young women from across the country gather. The story follows Lilisa Suzunomiya, who becomes the daughter of a real estate tycoon after her mother remarries.
In an effort to embody the elegance expected of a high-society young lady, she gives up her guitar and her love for rock music. However, her passion for rock is reignited when she encounters a highly skilled drummer at the same prestigious school.
Fukuda (Mushibugyō, Gofun-go no Sekai) began serializing the manga in Young Animal in October 2022. Hakusensha published the first compiled volume in April 2023, with the seventh volume scheduled for release on March 28.
