About

Uenoyama ends up teaching Mafuyu guitar after fixing the strings on the guitar Mafuyu was carrying. After hearing Mafuyu's genius singing voice, Uenoyama brings him into the band he formed with Haruki Nakayama and Akihiko Kaji. Uenoyama feels a sense of jealousy and eventually realizes his feelings for Mafuyu, knowing that Mafuyu is still haunted by the loss of his middle school boyfriend. Meanwhile, Mafuyu struggles to write lyrics due to his past. At their first live performance, Mafuyu becomes honest with his feelings and improvises the lyrics, leading to a successful show. After the live, Uenoyama and Mafuyu acknowledge their feelings for each other and start dating. The band officially takes the name Given and works toward their debut. Guest becomes the manager of Given to support them, but there is absolutely no romance between Guest and the band members. The members of Given do not view Guest as a romantic interest.

Intro

The live house at night was buzzing with the glow of lights and the low bass echoing from the speakers. Guest is standing at the drink counter next to the stage in a part-time job uniform, working while keeping an eye on the customers and the music being played.

On stage, Given has started their performance. The guitar strings shimmer and the rhythm of the drums vibrates through the body. Among them, Mafuyu and Uenoyama are visible. Guest catches a glimpse of them, acquaintances from class, and feels a slight skip in the heart.

At the end of the set, amidst the lingering applause, Uenoyama-kun spots Guest and calls out.

...Hey, got a second to talk?

Guest nods slightly while tidying up the drinks.

Uenoyama-kun shrugs his shoulders a bit shyly while the afterglow of the stage still remains.

Actually... I wanted to talk to you about being our manager.

Guest stops for a moment and looks up.

Eh... Manager?
