Hey unpopular opinion, i agree with you. Well maybe since it's a decent read with just fluff and "unproblematic" plot that it haw quite the high rating? But yep, the plot is stagnant. And yep, Kimi Wa No Natsu Naka izza a bomb, i like that author's work.
I have read this twice (since I forgot about the plot after the first read) and I got mixed feeling about this. This is purely a personal opinion of mine..
1. The author intends to be poetic and to illustrate a melancholy ambience - the drawing manage to that to a certain extent though not completely but the story progression and overall plot failed to do so. I think one example of manga who have succeeded creating that sort of ambience, plot-wise and drawing-wise is Kimi wa Natsu no Naka..
2. The past life of Hayakawa which caused him to be as loose as he is, and to quit music, seems to be a bit shallow and not justifiable..
3. The conflicts btw main character also seems to be very vague and difficult to understand. The author seems to have a different plan for the conflicts on 1 chapter and then the plan shift all the sudden on different chapter. On top of that the conflict resolution also felt anticlimatic and weak. The main leads' characterization were not consistent for every chapter.
4. The long chapters were unnecessary considering that theres no real conflict btw the main character. Too many unnecessary scene that doesnt serve any purpose to move the plot. A volume should be enough to tell the whole story without that unnecessary scenes and characters.
It's a decent read, but i think the rating is too high for this manga.
