Oh my gosh! Y’all if you haven’t read this manga series I don’t know what you’re doing. IT IS AMAZING. This volume explores Kosei delving back into the competition world. We get to see his former rivals compete and it is clear that they’ve been so deeply affected by his role in the music world. His absence and later return pushes them to give their all. It’s so interesting learning a lot more about the back stories of each character. This volume also has a huge trigger warning for child abuse. It is so heartbreaking to see why Kosei doesn’t have any passion when he plays the piano. His mother utilized her illness to force him to play perfect and he blamed himself for everything that went wrong. It wasn’t just physical, it was also emotional and mental abuse. This is probably overall just one of the more emotional volumes. I loved the artwork and listened to the classical pieces mentioned while I read the volume.

Satisfying.

This story continues to be good and I'm still happy to read it. I love that they gave us some backstory with the mom's abuse for the piano. I cannot wait to read more from this.
