OK, I just finished reading the manga and what other thing I can do than writing a review.

I would like to mention what I like about it first, the art is great it's not hard to look at and it looks like any other good manga art. It's clean and easy to read with the format so I got no complain on that. 9/10.

Moving on to character, the characters have a shallow yet easy to memorize and grasp. Most of the time with manga that is short like this, the artist tend to try to go too deep on the characters that it's suffocating and ... hard to grasp. So, I think the artist did a good job on this. 9/10

Now on the story, I shouldn't have expected much depth from a 10 chapters manga because that is what dissatisfy me the most from reading it. It's a bit cliche that when you start reading it you can imagine the ending a little. So, try your best to not try to imagine it. On the other hand, the artist tried to point out what's what and what's not, like pointing that if the current event different than the one before time leap or not. It's really helpful so that's one thing. Lastly, I would say if the chapters are 20 or 30, this manga would be something really exciting and great because that way, the pace wouldn't be hastened and the artist can go a little bit deeper with the story. Sadly, it's only 10 and I am quite disappointed in that. 7/10

Tip for everyone that wants or going to read this manga, do NOT expect too much and enjoy it as it is without any expectation.

"i know we have a same feelings" [Slight spoiler warning]

a slice of life manga with a musical as the main theme, all pretty much worth it.

storyline : starting with the first page of 'regret' Satoshi or the main character looking at the girl he likes (Rin) lying in the hospital, instead of giving a farewell sentence that made Satoshi wss express his feelings which made Rin very angry. Their bitter separation made Satoshi miserable, then whatever happened he returned to the past. My favorite part here is that when Satoshi came to the past everything was in order, he really tried not to hurt Rin's ... feelings (he kinda dumb sometimes) but is still very satisfying. The conflicts provided are quite diverse and neat, well-organized. even though it ended with Rin's death, all of Satoshi's regrets faded. Rin leaves happily & Satoshi starts to be grateful for what he has.

artstyle : has a unique & characteristic artstyle. the shape of the panels is pleasing to the eye, not boring and neat. they bring page by page to life. expressions, moving from one scene to another, even the hair details are all worth it. I also personally like the cover. especially when you see it in physical form, it's too beautiful.

character: unique personality, nothing annoying. the primember band and the student council president have strong chemistry. they are going well as long as the story goes on. nothing is instantaneous. Rin & Satoshi struggled to bring them all together to form a band that performs as well as this.

enjoyment : with a careful & determined main character, all the stories here flow beautifully. Realistic conflicts between friends make this manga highly recommended. If I'm honest, this is looks like orange, but it's more structured version.

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS (For Shigatsu wa kimi no Uso)

The feelings that you get are very similar to Shitgatsu wa kimi no Uso. Basically the same trope is that a girl is sick and before she dies she wants to create a band with the MC involved. However, in this case there is time travelling. The MC confesses to the girl but she gets angry at him before she dies. The MC regrets doing this and somehow travels 6 months back into the past and is given a second chance. Naturally one would think why is she angry just because the MC confessed? How different ... will the second time travel be? These are the questions that propel me to keep on reading. The wish for the heroine to not die is very strong in this one but you know that she is going to die sometime... this is the same feels...

The artwork is clean and realistic with not too many things going on. The characters themselves are a mystery but can definitely draw parallels between the two. The MC with artistic talent being drawn into the world of music by a determined girl who wishes to form a band before she dies. She even keeps her illness a secret like Kaori.

If you liked Shigatsu you'll like this manga. I bet at the moment you begin reading you start drawing parallels between the two.
