I wasn’t feeling this at first, but it turned wholesome after a while. Shino Oshima has a strong stutter that is directly affected by her nervousness. Because of this, she’s been unable to make friends or communicate well. I was a little put off by some of Shino’s exaggerated faces. 

Shino meets a blunt girl named Kayo, and somehow this turns into a “we’re getting the band together” story. But it’s not bad. Shino and Kayo’s friendship is pretty wholesome too. I love that Kayo asks for Shino’s input and doesn’t make decisions for her. And that characters are mature enough to apologize. Definitely read the afterword.
