Uenoyama is an indifferent student but a passionate guitar player. When he meets Mafuyu, an oddball from another class at his high school, carrying an extremely expensive guitar that he doesn't know how to play, Uenoyama's attention is caught. He helps Mafuyu fix a broken string, and Mafuyu asks him for guitar lessons. Uenoyama shrugs this off, saying he'd be a bad teacher because he's entirely self-taught. But after he hears Mafuyu's incredible singing voice (and hears rumors about a tragedy in his past) he decides he will take the other boy under his wing. It's hinted there will be a very slow-burn romance between the two, but I'm not sure this first book hooked me strongly enough to keep going with the series. I did like the side characters of Uenoyama's sister and his two bandmates, but the pacing of the story felt a bit rough.
