There was "romance", "drama" sure, but most of the characters who execute them, their backstory and their action in the first few chapters was too irredeemable that it's unforgivable even after the penultimate chapter.
The romance and drama in this manga was well-done though, the 2 side girls really made for good side characters (senpai outshined others for some though, which is another flaw) and the MCs, despite their flaws, really did developed throughout the storyline. 7 or 8's a good score for it, neither the LN or this manga were objectively good, but them both are a good read and hold a special place in my heart.
You don't need to know music to see that this manga is decent or more and Jesus Christ, those ending panels gave me goosebumps. Out of this world.
