Following up Kuuden Noise no Himegimi, the same rhythm and style can be felt here. Realistic characters as they face the really tough route of becoming a band in the ruthless entertainment industry. The music scenes still lack impact. The big question is: does this short manga wraps things up properly? Yes and no. Just as many small bands, Altago must trudge through obscurity as they try to make a name for themselves. The band has a meteoric rise and the members are simply not ready for success. The conclusion is bittersweet. This is very realistic because the majority of bands have poignant endings since theydie in the shadows of anonymity. I was rooting for Altago. Therefore I couldn't help but feel a little joy and a big sadness for what happens in the end.
