shout loud, my heart is a really sweet, really quick read. it follows gen, the main guitarst of band Eve, and mika, lead singer of band Adam. they meet, become friends, and easily become entangled in each other.

i was surprised by how quick everything was advancing, but i realised that this is probably a single volume manga so the fast pace made sense. regardless, i had a lot of happy feelings reading this. i wish there was more just to experience the development of their relationship, but what we got was equally as enjoyable. also a really fun cast of side characters that feel distinctive despite their limited screen time.

gen equates meeting mika as something akin to fate. and mika literally says that if a god exists he thanks them for leading him to gen. i loved how from both of their perspectives, the other was someone whose music they were enchanted by.

this was really cute, really fluffy, and had beautiful art. i'm sure i'll read again, in future, when i need a pick me up.

Thank you to NetGalley & Kodansha Comics for an arc in exchange for an honest review!
