Given #1

This first volume of Given collects the opening chapters of the manga series, introducing high school student Ritsuka Uenoyama, a guitarist who has lost his passion for music. After meeting the quiet and seemingly detached Mafuyu Sato, who carries a mysterious guitar with a broken string, Ritsuka finds himself drawn into a new musical partnership that begins to reawaken his love for playing. The volume sets the stage for a story about love, grief, and the healing power of music, as the two boys and their bandmates navigate the early days of forming a band.
