and ue love has it's roots, we saw how his friends treated him badly cuz he's better than them and strict with their practice and how this made him dislike music for a while and stop making new music sheets, yet when he played on sato's guitar and saw how that somehow moved his heart his passion to music was renewed, his hesitation regarding confess is becuase his character was made for music in the first place not lovers, his attitude has it's place ,and sato's confessing first cuz he of all the other characters know how valuable words we say r
Yeah and I can understand that--I'm just tired of people invalidating Mafuyu's feelings just 'cause he's still hurting over Yuuki. He's not the only one still hurting either seeing as the other two from their childhood friend group are still seeking Mafuyu out for answers/forgiveness.
i totally get u, but their way of judging is blinding them from such art, let them be and enjoy it yo self... i used to come to this comment section to reply to all sortsa ppl who say such things cuz they r shallow and can't see and analyise and connect every panel, word and feeling of the story to anther part of it, but now with the anime and more ppl being artless i decided to just enjoy it, seeing how it got such a great anime means these opinions r nothing and given will spread farther...
I feel ya on that one--I actually had a full on celebration when I heard the news of an anime being released and had a streaming party for the first episode.
Was it a bit much? Probably. Did I care tho and thoroughly enjoy myself? Hell yeah I did.
I mean u wrote 3 paragraphs, that's nuff for a paper homework...
Yeah I get a little too heated sometimes. I've been reading Given since the first chapter was released so I get upset when people just make wild accusations about the plot and whatnot.
Talking about "Uenoyama deserves better" and "Mafuyu doesn't really love Uenoyama."
First off, what Mafuyu went through was traumatic. He had been together with Yuuki since they were small children and then became lovers as they got older. Mafuyu still blamed himself for Yuuki's death and it had only been a year--a YEAR--since he died. When he met Uecchi and the others he was still hurting.
Secondly, it's THANKS TO UECCHI that Mafuyu is able to heal and become an amazing musician and lyricist. Uecchi's love for him and Mafuyu's growing love for Uecchi is what is bringing out their full potential. Uecchi found Mafuyu and is pulling him up out of the darkness--giving him all these opportunities to become whole again.
Lastly, IT WAS MAFUYU THAT CONFESSED FIRST WHILE UECCHI COULDN'T EVEN SORT HIMSELF OUT. Mafuyu was the first to voice his feelings to Uecchi 'cause he could feel him becoming an irreplaceable existence in his life at a rapid rate. Uecchi was fretting over whether or not he should confess and was worrying over needless things which hindered him from confessing. I mean, he did initiate the kiss first after their live but he couldn't even remember whether or not it was real...
