Given

2021 · 1 season

A gentle, music-filled coming-of-age story that lingers on quiet moments and emotional healing, with a soft romantic undercurrent.

Overview: Ritsuka Uenoyama is bored with it all—with school, with his basketball club, and even with his one true passion: playing guitar. That is, until the day he finds his favorite hidden napping spot occupied by a strange boy cradling a broken-stringed guitar. At first, Uenoyama is nonplussed by Mafuyu Satō and his slightly odd behavior, but when, on a whim, he asks Mafuyu to sing, the power of that song pierces him to the core.
How it feels: Melancholic, warm, romantic and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Music, love, grief, healing
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
