A review by boomwormbrittany
Become You Vol. 1 by Ichigo Takano

4.0

Seventeen year old Taiyou has dreams of becoming a musician. But his bandmates quit in order to focus on school and Taiyou feels his dream slipping away. In desperation, he ask his classmate Hikari to join the band with him. They are total opposites but they might create something amazing.
Ichigo Takano is one of my favorite manga writers so when I heard she had a new manga out, I was excited. I love her other two series and was excited to start one from the very beginning. I really enjoyed this.
I found Taiyou to be a character who sometimes can be a bit irksome. He's someone who is always pushing to be positive but has a lot of pain in his past. However, sometimes he pushes when he should really leave people alone. Sometimes, I found his pushiness to be a bit much for me.
I really enjoyed the side characters in this, in particular Hikari. He's a character I vibe better with and that I really enjoyed. I feel like there is a huge backstory with Hikari that will show up in later volumes. I want to know more about him and his past with music.
Overall, I found this to be a good start to a new manga series. I am excited to see where Ichigo Takano is going to take this story.
