Side notes: I picked this manga here to be presented for more than just one reason.^-^ Well the first one is easy to spot. It fits to the theme about music/ bands. Second there is sports elements in present too. And third... there is a live action movie coming up within one month time. So I's more or less waiting to read this one.^-^ Only lil thing is that the translation of this series is a bit slow or the updated chapters appear slowly to the manga reading sites. But that's not really my worry now... I'm too close for the start to having to think when the next chapter is out.
Art isn't the most typical shoujo manga and I'm not that overly keen about it. The story starts with pretty average level so it takes some time before it levels up. After that it moves quite well and without too much hurrying giving space for characters to grow up and become more realistic.
