Music manga never seem to work for me.They can write and draw as fancy they want, but in the back of my mind I'll always imagine the characters playing cheesy shit in sibilant voices. I think it was the Beck anime that first ruined it. The pages in the manga made it seem the the protagonist had the voice of a god, but then the anime came out and we got crappy college emo rock with nasally helium vocals.
I still read this, but my whole music manga block combined with majority of the cast being insipidly characterless, has relegated this to the "let's skim unlikable shit first so that I don't have to deal with it later" category whenever I visit mangadex and click the follows tab.
Well, I suppose it's still better than Macross where they attempt to save the universe with idol garbage.
