i can't believe how underrated this manga is. i know people are already sick of commoner-celebrity love story but you guys should give this a try. at first i was hesitant to read this too. this kind of tandem isn't my type at all. but i was hooked after reading just a few pages. A plain girl dating a member of a popular band. however there's a twist. no one knows him and people only know him by his name for composing music for his bandmates. a 5 member band with only four members performing. there are absolutely cliche elements in the manga. Since well, i guessit's hard to come up with an entirely different and original plot and stories nowadays. but that doesnt mean it has no new elements on it. i started reading this manga many years ago but the release is so slow, the excitement and mini heart attacks are killing me that i decided to put this on hold.

aki, the male protagonist. a genius compositor with inferiority complex. but (he is not the weak though he was depressed at the beginning due to some circumstances.) he thinks of his skill as ordinary and not good enough when in fact he is a genius. he has this "cool guy" feels. you know the usually smart, handsome, quite and serious guys that you see in like 90% of shoujo manga but what i really like is that he also has this cute, sweet, and clumsy side that is laid out so funnily.

riko, stubborn and fearless. she is strong that she never trembles because of fear but of excitement. i love how she is not the crybaby type of heroine. i mean she had a fair share of tears in the manga but it is not annoying. i personally think her cries are reasonable and relatable. not the type of heroine that waits to be saved by her prince.

im no good with words. my words will never be able to give justice how amazing i think this manga is. i really recommend this. i'm just surprised by how underrated this is considering that two countries had adapted this into live action (japan & SK)
