The Senzoku Gakuen College of Music Philharmonic Orchestra was credited with the orchestral performance in the anime.
The anime is based on the Japanese music drama manga series by Makoto Akui. It began serialization in Shogakukan’s MangaONE app on April 25, 2017, and later on the Ura Sunday website on May 2, 2017. Twelve tankobon volumes have been released as of March 2025, with a 13th volume scheduled for release in Japan in October 2025.
Elex Media licensed the Blue Orchestra manga for release in Indonesia, describing the main premise as:
In the fall of his third and final year of middle school, Hajime Aono, a violin prodigy, stopped playing violin for his own personal reasons. But it was also that year when he got to know a girl who told him about a high school with a prestigious school orchestra. Suddenly, the gears in the clock of Aono’s life began to turn again. This is the story of a youth drama that brings forth the harmony between music and the heart!
