'''''GO-ON!''''' (''ゴー・オン！'') is a Japanese manga series created by [[Manabu Akishige]].
==Overview==
The story of ''Go-On!'' revolves heavily around a high schooler named Rika Nagano gifting the main character, Ryo Katase, a signed copy of [[Weezer|Weezer's]] [[Weezer (The Blue Album)|''The Blue Album'']], prompting them to become closer romantically. Other Weezer-related materials appear in the series, such as ''The Blue Album Deluxe'', ''[[Weezer (The Red Album)|The Red Album]]'', and the songs "[[Undone - The Sweater Song]]" and "[[The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn)]]".

The manga was serialized from [[December 20]], [[2007]] to [[January 24]], [[2009]] in the weekly manga magazine ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weekly_Young_Sunday Weekly Young Sunday]'', and has a total of 4 volumes and 30 chapters. Each volume received physical releases as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank%C5%8Dbon tankōbon] in Japan between [[2008]] and [[2009]] by the publisher [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogakukan Shogakukan].<ref name ="pubdates">''GO-ON!

Anime News Network. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=16220&page=28.</ref> A Taiwanese edition of the manga with unique cover art, Chinese translations of the text, and the new title ''Youth Heat Go-On!'' (''青春热浪GO-ON!'') received tankōbon releases between [[2009]] and [[2011]] by the publisher [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharp_Point_Press Sharp Point Press],<ref>''青春热浪GO-ON!''. 百度百科. https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E9%9D%92%E6%98%A5%E7%83%AD%E6%B5%AAGO-ON%21</ref><ref name="pubdates"></ref> and multiple other official translations, including those in Indonesian and Korean, are known to exist.

Reportedly, [[Rivers Cuomo]] has read the manga and enjoyed it.<ref name="barks1">June 1, 2008. ''ウィーザー、人気ロック漫画とコラボ''. barks.jp. https://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000040493</ref> He was quoted on the OBI of the manga's second volume, stating (roughly translated from Japanese):
{{Rivers Cuomo quote|Funny scenes, pretty girls, rock guys ... I only understand about 10% of the words, but I really like them. After all, it's great that our album will appear in MANGA !!|<ref>''Go-On!'' Volume 2 packaging.</ref>}}

==Marketing for ''Weezer (The Red Album)''==

The story's serialization started shortly prior to the release of the [[2008]] Weezer album, ''[[Weezer (The Red Album)|The Red Album]]''. The manga helped market its release in Japan, with posters featuring Ryo Katase and Rika Nagano listening to the album's CD,<ref name="barks1"></ref> and OBIs on some physical releases displaying the album's cover.

Akishige would work with the band further, creating the art for the digital iTunes "[[Troublemaker]]" single, released exclusively in Japan. Art from this release, as well as from ''Go-On!'', was featured on ''[[Troublemaker Remixes]]'' and on the Mexican release of ''[[Six Hits]]''.
