Last year I considered this series to be one of the best releases of the year. The ending though does feel a bit abrupt in the way certain things feel unresolved. However, Kanato Oka is working on a spin-off series (sadly only in Japanese) and I still believe that Ota captures the magic of the live music experience with a sincerity that really brings me a lot of joy.

All other entires would have been five stars (only started logging manga this year) so if you love Music and slice-of-life make sure you check this one out. I really enjoyed the entire experience despite some slight apprehension about how it ended without expanding on some things

Days on Fes ended in such a beautiful way! Seeing a bit of the backstory of Ritsuru and seeing Kanade and Otoha enjoying an indoor festival was a great way to end the series. I also love that they showed them still going to music festivals as they entered the adult world, and that Kanade has done something amazing!
