Given

ギヴン

A haunting melody lingers in Mafuyu Satou's mind, repeating through a guitar with sorrow and longing. His distant demeanor hides the depth of his emotions from those nearby. An unexpected meeting with classmate Ritsuka Uenoyama could become the key for Mafuyu to express his inner voice. Uenoyama plays in a band featuring soft-spoken bassist Haruki Nakayama and rugged drummer Akihiko Kaji. Though lacking a vocalist, the group performs instrumentally. Their prospects for growth brighten when Uenoyama is captivated by Mafuyu's singing ability and invites him to join their ranks. Band life brings challenges where emotions can strengthen or strain relationships. With Uenoyama's encouragement, Mafuyu may find a way to release the feelings trapped within his soul.
