Love of music unites the four members of the band Given: hotheaded guitarist Uenoyama, playboy drummer Akihiko, gentle bassist Haruki, and Mafuyu, a singer gifted with great talent and burdened by past tragedy. Their struggles and conflicts may drive them apart, but their bond to the music—and to one another—always brings them back together again. 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 Sato 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. Review: BL manga about love, loss, and lyrics. - Fantastic BL manga. I could re-read and re-watch this series dozens of times (and I have...) and still find it as enjoyable as when I first discovered it. It’s a great manga about a shared passion for music, coping with unimaginable loss and heartbreak, embracing new love and learning how to express yourself. The camaraderie between musicians—seriously, I loved the different dynamics and interactions between the characters! You truly believed in their friendship and respect for each other. The way Akihiko and Haruki looked after and mentored the younger members of the band (Ritsuka and Mafuyu) really felt authentic to me. The art style is lovely. Characters are great. This manga makes me sad, but not in a hopeless way. I like that the characters all grow in their own ways. It’s just...great. It’s definitely one of the better BL mangas of the genre, and I am SO happy and grateful that it’s being officially translated and distributed. Highly recommended. desertcart shipped it nice and neatly. Review: Great Series - I watched the anime before reading the manga, and wanted to read it afterwards. I loved the anime and I loved reading the first volume of the manga. This series would be great for any fan of BL anime or manga. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #38,247 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #32 in Yaoi Manga (Books) #46 in Romance Manga (Books) #99 in Media Tie-In Manga (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 3,464 Reviews | ## Images ![Given, Vol. 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XrWfkGbzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BL manga about love, loss, and lyrics. *by C***A on November 2, 2020* Fantastic BL manga.

I loved the anime and I loved reading the first volume of the manga. This series would be great for any fan of BL anime or manga. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cute BL manga *by J***N on February 19, 2024* ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 🎸contemporary romance 🎸bl 🎸high school 🎸trauma rep 🎸secret crush 🎸rock band “Id one day you woke up, and the person you love was suddenly gone from this world, how would that make you feel? How would you describe it?” Synopsis: Ritsuka is in a rock band with two of his friends, Akihiko and Haruki. One day at school he goes to take a nap at his “secret spot” because it is normally empty. But on this day, somebody is there. Mafuyu is in the secret spot just being adorable and Ritsuka befriends him (kind of) in Ritsuka fashion, and he eventually agrees to join their band. My thoughts: I adore this manga so much. The plot was so cute, and I absolutely love Mafuyu, he is always so adorable and must be protected at all costs. Haruki is my favorite though; he deserves the entire world. And the secret that came out about Mafuyu? Literal tears everywhere. I will be checking out the anime adaptation and continuing this manga. What I loved about this manga: ▶️the plot was so cute and seemed to revolve around Mafuyu ▶️the art style, especially the cute little drawings around different panels, like the Pomeranian lol. ▶️Haruki ❤️ ▶️The LGBT rep. Read this manga if: - You love bl mangas - You have soft spots for Pomeranians. - You love music, specifically any kind of rock music.
