A great first volume! I enjoyed all the bits about learning to play guitar with Ritsuka teaching Mafuyu. I feel like I learned some things too. I like Mafuyu a lot as a character. He has an air of mystery and appears lost in his thoughts.
Also, I thought it was neat to get the title drop so quickly with Mafuyu’s boyfriend’s guitar in this case being given to him. Sad that he committed suicide though :(
