Given, Vol. 7

Sometimes a song can save your life. Love of music unites the four members of the band Given: hotheaded guitarist Uenoyama, playboy drummer Akihiko, gentle bassist Haruki, and Mafuyu, a singer gifted with great talent and burdened by past tragedy. Their struggles and conflicts may drive them apart, but their bond to the music and to one another always brings them back together again. Mafuyu continues to dig his heels in with Ritsuka and Hiragi about his decision to go pro, causing Hiragi to worry that he may have hurt him by snagging Ritsuka for his own band. But Shizusumi throws Hiragi for a loop, asking out of the blue if he too was in love with Yuki, forcing Hiragi into a confession he isn’t ready to make.
