Ritsuka Uenoyama is bored with it all—with school, with his basketball club, and even with his one true ion: playing guitar. That is, 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 Mafuyu to sing, the power of that song pierces him to the core.

Kizu launched the manga in Shinshokan's Chéri+ magazine in 2014. The manga ended on March 30, and Shinshokan published the manga's ninth and final compiled book volume on September 1.

The original manga's television anime adaptation premiered on streaming an English dub in August 2022.
