Slid down about .5 points for me for being just so on the nose with its conclusions, but otherwise an interesting riff on the competitive music genre of manga, subverted by having the cast revolve around a singular competition rather than just having a protagonist. Well-written, intriguing work from Riku Onda, who seems to make this kind of sprawling, circular novel her central project.
