3OO8's manga / #Music(3)

Honestly like 15x better than I thought. I read this ages ago and they just released new offical chapters from tapas. Really happy it’s completed and I just saw that it was a Korean drama?? Either way a really good wholesome story. Highly recommend 8-9/10

You know when people say a piece of fiction is “peak” and like a work of art but when you actually finally take time to sit down and indulge in this “peak fiction” it’s actually pretty mid? That’s kinda how I felt with this. It’s rated SUPER highly and everybody loves it to bits, legit calling it a “yuri gem” but I don’t understand the hype. I think it might’ve just been the fact that I overhyped it in my head but it was honestly underwhelming. I barely felt anything while reading these 115 chapters. My favourite parts of the story were just the misunderstanding at the start which only lasts for 30 chapters but the start of the manga was the best. It might’ve been because I liked how comedic it was and enjoyed how the interactions played out with aya ranting about how cool “he” was while the dude she was talking about was sitting right beside her. I kinda find it crazy that the only characters I was super interested in was the dude the girls were friends with and the main girls uncle. I never got invested into the arcs and plot points because I could see how it would turn out from a mile away or I found that I just didn’t end up caring. And ngl I found the dialogue in this manga pretty cringe, like the entire thing of the main character being “a smooth talker” and “a prince” when the dialogue just made me cringe and the arc where the main character comes back to school after a week of being absent and has undergone a transformation and got back to the guy who made her break down, which I couldn’t even see as a cool badass moment. It was just kinda cringe. Also I hate the entire plot point right now with this underclassman having a crush on the main girl, it’s probably going to end up with the main girl getting like her songs put out into a radio station or her producing music and getting it out there but I really don’t care. I feel like people only like this manga because of the fact that the main characters listen to popular English artists like nirvana and the goddamn art style. It’s legit known as “the green yuri” because of its art style. My opinion will HOPEFULLY change in the near future but right now I can’t feel for the characters or plot. Makes me sad.

Pretty good start, kinda wished it was a slow burn but yeah didn’t really expect it from yaoi. 7-8/10
