First of all, i love the whole story. Although it’s mainly romance it still shows how they can develop and strive for their goals. Male and female mc are really great like how they both have discipline and hardworking for what they want to achieve in both love and sports. Their senpai’s are really great for being mature and happy for their juniors accomplishments even if they lost. Side couples are really great too. They show great character development with their current situations of being in love, being heartbroken, hard work, and understanding of certain aspects they don’t understand to develop better.

I love the manga, its a mix of cheerful, sad and bittersweet scenes wherein they all have their history that makes them who they are now and as to why they play koto. They use the instruments as a way to communicate and convey their emotions which helps each other develop more as a person and as a group. Seeing their backstory makes me tear up and i love how it all ends in a good note with understanding and love from each and every one of them.
