SUBLIME
GIVEN GN #1
(W) Natsuki Kizu (A) Natsuki Kizu (CA) Natsuki Kizu
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 each other - always brings them back together again. Ritsuka Uenoyama is bored with it all-with school, with his basketball club, and even with his one true passion: playing guitar. Until the day he finds his favorite hidden napping spot occupied by a strange boy cradling a broken-stringed guitar. At first, Uenoyama is nonplussed by Mafuyu Sato and his slightly odd behavior, but when, on a whim, he asks the other boy to sing, the power of Mafuyu's voice pierces him to the core.

In an extracurricular experience gone hilariously wrong, innocent Takashi Tono accidentally joins a club that puts the "dick" in "valedictorian."

Now that Takashi's surrounded by bedroom aces, can this virgin survive a day - much less the whole school year-as part of the school's most lascivious club?
