It definitely felt like a higher quality story compared to others, mainly in the art style and character design (art but also who the characters are), but it definitely fell off in some areas, it felt very rushed overall and in some other moments, like the main couple getting together, I understand it isn't a long story and that might've been the desire of the author but it leads to an unsatisfying read when it feels rushed, there's something else too, which might just be a personal issue rather than an actual critique but, I just didn't like how hibiki had the sexual relationship with the other girl, kind of taints the view I had on her character, and I know her type of character (really nice, perfect, etc.) can have a surprising side to them, but yk, outside of my dislike for the situation itself, having a fuck buddy and going for someone romantically at the same time is hella selfish. Anyways, outside of its flaws, it was fairly interesting, haven't seen many music club based stories and I think it was solid overall, I like minatos dynamic, which I know isn't unique, but mc's don't tend to be the nervous types so, it was nice to see and her character overall had no negative qualities like the ones I mentioned earlier with hibiki, so, I liked the MC a lot. Anyways, overall I'd give it a 6.5/10 rushed, plus the other negatives I mentioned, but it was good in other areas
