Synopsis

Tightly clutching his Gibson guitar, Mafuyu Satou steps out of his dark apartment to begin another day of his high school life. While taking a nap in a quiet spot on the gymnasium staircase, he has a chance encounter with fellow student Ritsuka Uenoyama, who berates him for letting his guitar's strings rust and break. Noticing Uenoyama's knowledge of the instrument, Satou pleads for him to fix it and to teach him how to play. Uenoyama eventually agrees and invites him to sit in on a jam session with his two band mates: bassist Haruki Nakayama and drummer Akihiko Kaji.

Satou's voice is strikingly beautiful, filling Uenoyama with the determination to make Satou the lead singer of the band. Though reticent at first, Satou takes the offer after an emotional meeting with an old friend. With the support of his new friends, Satou must not only learn how to play guitar, but also come to terms with the mysterious circumstances that led him to be its owner.

This is by far of of my favorite BL series. I really enjoyed the emotion shown through the characters and the development of the characters. The creator of the show knew what they were doing and there is a character for everyone to love. It was so easy to get attached to a character in this show.

Also the soundtrack is amazing. Usually in my opinion romance/musical animes excel in only one category but this anime has both great romance AND music.

The way characters reacted to certain things really made the watcher feel something. This plus the art style really gave emotion and if something bad ...

English.
A series of bands, love and trauma. It is quite difficult to define what this is about, but the easiest way to say its plot is an adventure in which we are going to see our protagonists discover what they are passionate about and little by little they will see how they are progressing. their human relationships, now saying this small introduction I think I will automatically go on to say that I liked this series a lot more than I thought, it is not a masterpiece that tells us little by little the goals of the characters or that we can see their growth ...

So incredibly boring. Don't listen to anyone who tells you that this is a realistic portrayal of a same sex relationship because it is not. The characters are paper-thin and don't deserve to exist in a work that is longer than an episode. The two main characters are tropes and they will never surprise you. The music takes a backseat to the terrible drama. The pacing is tedious. Plot was predictable. Animation was alright but you can't appreciate it when everything else about the show is disappointing. The side characters and their relationship is just almost interesting but falls flat. Don't watch if you're over ...
