did anything at all happen in this volume? like fr

[Keiko the manga enthusiast ♒︎ · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's been a year, and my hands are still shaking, trying to absorb everything in this volume. I seriously couldn't focus with my heart beating too loudly. I know I don't have a right to be angry at Mafuyu—he's fragile, I know that. He's the one that was left, and moving on isn't as easy as it sounds like. Don't forget the trauma... and the empty space that will never be filled by the same body ever again. But on the other hand, I hate seeing Ritsu's feelings getting trampled all over again. He's my best boy, you know? I can't control my heart. Mafuyu's got to pick, and he got to pick one side faster! Thank Heavens, he is about to make the right decision, though.

Anyway, thank you!! I love the volume cover so much. And another glimpse of Aki and Haruki's domesticity! Yey!

Ok, I think after this lull we are finally going somewhere and the story is getting back on track for the next volume. Seriously people just need to COMMUNICATE.

APRIL 2023?!?!!? ig the wait begins 🚬😑

[Jen (thisbeereads) · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 because it kinda feels like nothing at all happened in this one, I blinked and it was over - but rounding up because the art still good and probably because I’m ~sentimental

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Getting back on track but this one still feels a little slow & filler-y.

Mafuyu is just an adorable scared little bean. Look at him.

I just wanna-


I can tell the next volume should be really good, though.

Un tomo intermedio para el siguiente arco argumental donde de nueva cuenta nuestros protagonistas crean una canción para recordar el amor verdadero y la magia de crear melodías. Y redescubrir sus pasiones

[Jos · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lo sentí mucho más corto que de costumbre y más sabiendo que este es el penúltimo tomo, pero se nota que ya se está formando una resolución para los problemas que tienen Mafuyu y Uenoyama

[Brigi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Was this whole volume really about Mafuyu dilly-dallying whether to go to the concert? Bruh...

[Nea Poulain · Rating 4 out of 5]

Uenoyama my animal spirit.

EL EXTRA DE UGETSU ME LLORE TODO

[Lucy Tonks (the invisible life of a reader) · Rating 4 out of 5]

THANK GOD FOR UGETSU

[Laura (laurascozyreads) · Rating 3 out of 5]

the art style is so so beautiful but the plot has been giving less and less with each volume tbh

El final con Ugetsu :((((

[Mar · Rating 3 out of 5]

(3,5/5)

[Miki_reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mafuyu deserves the world

Also living for Haruki and Akihiko being the gay dads no one asked for

[Jace · Rating 3 out of 5]

Enjoyable, but did anything actually happen? Not really and what do you mean the next volume is the last one? I'm a little scared on how it's all going to wrap up in the next volume since this one felt that a throw away book/filler episode.

[Alicia Avila · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pareciera q pasó mucho, pero no pasó nada 🤣

[Balerion · Rating 3 out of 5]

I’m pretty bummed I didn’t love this volume so much, it’s definitely my least favourite so far. I was worried after reading volume 7 that Mafuyu’s problem with not deciding on whether or not he wants to go pro would get annoying. Technically that didn’t happen, but what did happen was Mafuyu spending the entire volume having problems with deciding if he even wants to see Eunoyama in concert.

It just felt a little boring to me, and something we have seen before. This isn’t the first time that Mafuyu’s reluctance to doing something has served as a plot device and I’m getting tired of it. It’s making me like Mafuyu’s character less which I feel bad about.

It was however nice that we got to check in with all of the characters this volume, I didn’t think we would really see much of Hiragi after last volume but thankfully I was wrong and we got to see quite a lot of him.

Ugetsu showing up at the end was a surprise. My guess is that he will be the one to help push Mafuyu into liking music again. I just hope that it happens quickly.

The final “emergence” chapter was really nice. It’s nice to see Ugetsu be successful and is doing okay after things officially ended between him and Akihiko. I wonder if Ugetsu will stay single or if the story could possibly shift to focus on a new romance for him. Either way I would be happy.

I do hope that I enjoy the next volume more, the wait begins again.

No ha sido el mejor tomo de Given pero no por eso me ha gustado menos. Me da que ha sido un tomo de transición para soltarnos el bum en el último tomo y cerrar todo bien cerrado. Como siempre amo a Mafuyu y Uenoyama pero sobre todo a mi Haru y Akihiko😍

[Casey · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 not much happened in this volume which has been an upsetting trend for the last couple, but I had fun. Now to wait until august for the last volume to be released 🥲

[Jessica ❀ · Rating 3 out of 5]

This volume was underwhelming. Just the same thing each chapter. But the last volume is the next so I have high hopes for a strong finish still. ❤️

[Ana Karenina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Si soy sincero, leí Given mientras se estaba publicando y hasta ahora me digne a leerlo en físico.

[OxEyeBlack · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pierwsze tomy mnie bardziej wciągały

[Lucía · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hasta aquí el maratón de Given. Este tomo ha estado muy interesantes, en especial el papel de Mafuyu como un estudiante confundido por la visión de futuro. Necesito que la Natsuki saque ya el tomo 9 jo :(((((

[nohe · Rating 5 out of 5]

es extensión del tomo anterior, pero es genial, el siguiente ya es el último y es como el pre al final y tengo ganas de ver como acaba

[kmiiii · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 ⭐️

pueden hablar? hola si gracias

[Lia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Even though we’re back to the core characters in this volume, I still feel like manga lost its momentum. At this stage I just want it to be over.
