I did not care for Yuki as a character. To me he felt like a plot device. He was there to move Mafuyu's development. Also I think that the fandom just idolizes Yuki so much because we see him how Mafuyu saw him. But the fact is we don't know how he is. We just have glorified memories of him. That's why I personally believe Uenoyama is better than him. When Yuki and Mafuyu argued instead of talking with him, Yuki decided to escalate the situation. Meanwhile Mafuyu first argument with Ritsuka, they talked. I understand this Mafuyu is different to the past one, but still Yuki knew Mafuyu since childhood and they knew each other better, but no, he decided to kill himself because Mafuyu said those words in a moment of anger. I still find this dumb. Like it just makes Yuki seem like a dumb character, like he did this because someone told him, and not because of something he had. Like he was void of character to me. All I know is he was a musician, he liked teasing Mafuyu and he takes things literally.
The fans are no better, especially Yuki and Mafuyu shippers, like some of them are nice and accept the fact that Mafuyu moved on and loves Uenoyama as Uenoyama. But most of them are just "Mafuyu loves Ue because he reminds him of Yuki." Like bruv no, and they are the ones saying "Have you read the manga?" Yes, I did, and Mafuyu clearly stated he loves Uenoyama for being Uenoyama, not because he's similar/reminds him of Yuki. Ritsuka deserves better, and the thing that pisses me off, is the lack of them from the author, they almost always draw Yuki and Mafuyu, meanwhile official art for Ue and Mafuyu is just little.
The last thing that pisses me off is definitely the whole Ugetsu, Aki and Haruki. Ugestu and Kaji are the main people at fault. Ugetsu basically using Kanji as a emotional support instead of going to actual fucking therapy and Kaji enabling Ugetsu and then has the nerve to go to Haruki, who clearly is in love with him, and takes advantage of him. Like I'm glad that at the end both Aki and Ugetsu finally break things off and get better. But their fans are fucking annoying. Like this is full on toxic relationship, I know y'all love toxic relationship but I do not. I'm glad they broke up. I'm so fucking glad that Ugetsu at the end isn't dating anyone and is focusing on himself. I'm not completely satisfied with how Haruki easily forgives Aki, but I'm glad that Aki better himself.
In the end, Given is a good, not excellent like I remember, but good. The main issue I have is with the shippers, especially shipper of canonically toxic couples: Ugetsu and Akihiko, Yuki and Mafuyu (yes, for me they had a toxic relationship, they relied on each other too much, especially Mafuyu, but it doesn't mean Yuki was a saint.).
Anyway, would re-read again and the fandom don't deserve Ritsuka and Haruki.
