Given, vol. 4 (Viz Media)

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 aby past tragedy.

Their struggles and conflicts may drive them apart, but their bond to the music--and to one another--always brings them back together again. As the band focuses on creating new songs and preparing for a music festival tryout, Haruki grows more and more intimidated aby the talents of younger members Mafuyu and Uenoyama.

Worried that he's holding them back, he accepts his ex-girlfriend's request to play in her band. Meanwhile, Akihiko realizes that Haruki has fallen in love with him, setting the stage for a major change in their relationship.
