Given #1

This first volume of the manga series Given collects the opening chapters of the story, introducing high school student Ritsuka Uenoyama, a guitarist who has lost his passion for music, until he meets Mafuyu Sato, a shy boy clutching a broken guitar. As Ritsuka reluctantly agrees to teach Mafuyu and eventually hears him sing, the volume sets up a poignant narrative about grief, healing, and the emotional power of music. Created by Natsuki Kizu, this edition launches the acclaimed Boys' Love series that inspired the anime adaptation.
