I’m definitely interested enough in the story to keep going and see what happens!...more

Okay, so this series started out slow for me, but once we started getting the back story, boom I was hooked! And it kept surprising me (mostly in a good way, but definitely not always—looking at you, revelation of who Konatsu’s son’s true father is, ew). I feel like I can’t quite bring myself to give the final volume five stars because of that ew, whaaaat??? factor, but the main story? So good! I’m glad I kept going with it....more
Had never of this series, and had no idea what it was about, and also knew nothing at all about rakugo, so I was a tiny bit lost at first. But…I dunnoHad never of this series, and had no idea what it was about, and also knew nothing at all about rakugo, so I was a tiny bit lost at first. But…I dunno. It’s interesting. I sort of like the dumbness of the main character, and am enjoying how he interacts with everyone. And I’m gradually learning more about rakugo, which…sort of seems like historical comedic storytelling? Or something like that? I’m not hooked, but I am intrigued enough to continue for now....more
Woo, I was worried! This three day long exam is no joke! My favorite part though is Yatora getting piled on by his friends when they hear the result. Woo, I was worried!

I liked seeing the main character find himself falling in love with making art, and I love his friends, and the art kids are interesting. It’s kind of a quiet story, and there’s nothing super compelling about it, but…it’s nice? There’s enough there that I will keep reading to see where it goes....more

Then I realized that I apparently missed reading volume 10–oops, no wonder!
I read this volume anyway though, and I super loved how Coco and Agott come together and compliment each other so beautifully. After so much strife on Agott’s part ever since Coco first came along, it just felt so rewarding! And I love how perceptive Qifrey is, and the way he and Olly interact. Plus, the art is always very pretty!

Their relationship just never stopped feeling creepy to me. Like, really creepy. ...more

Even though part of me dislikes how things end up (I would 100% pick Yuzu over Momo too!), something about it also just feels…really kind of perfect.
Well worth a read if you like band drama, weirdly thrilling rock festival performances, and some pretty major character growth. I probably won’t read this again, but dang, is a lot of it going to stick with me anyway!...more
