As a musician with debilitating social anxiety, this manga's themes hit a little painfully close to home (except I played all the way through university and never made one friend the whole time). I must say though, as a classical musician, I find the portrayal of concert band as stifling/uninteresting to be a tiny bit insulting, lol. Anyway, this author's music stuff always strikes me as thoughtful and well-researched, it's fun to read!
