Summary

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. Hiragi's band -- with Uenoyama's help -- is ready to make their big debut. And Mafuyu, who's been wishy-washy about becoming the singer for Given, is now equally as indecisive about his own singing. Uenoyama invites Mafuyu to the debut concert, but he doesn't accept the invitation, leaving Uenoyama even more confused by his boyfriend's recent behavior.
