Kids on the Slope is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yuki Kodama. It was originally serialized in Shogakukan's josei manga magazine Monthly Flowers from 2007 to 2012, with its chapters compiled into 10 tankōbon volumes. The series follows Kaoru Nishimi, an introverted high school student who discovers jazz music through his friendship with his delinquent classmate Sentarō Kawabuchi.
