I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #music(2)

Isshiki is a piano prodigy and Sasa, the former prodigy and his predecessor. Sasa's sense of dignity suffers when he loses his position, but it returns when Isshiki professes his love. I enjoyed the transition from professional envy and competition (or, in Sasa's case, utter capitulation and despair) to cooperation, admiration and love, but it feels difficult to connect to Sasa. Apparently there are two other volumes to go along with this scanned original, but there haven't been any signs of them.

Uenoyama was once driven to learn guitar, but he lost his inspiration. He comes across Sato sitting in his favourite napping spot with a poorly maintained Gibson and flips out. The two boys open each other's eyes to music, Sato to possibilities he never imagined and Uenoyama to possibilities he had abandoned. An interesting story about rock musicians with gorgeous artwork and believable characters.
