Manga review: Yonen Buzz

I´ll post my thoughts about manga series I recently finished. Maybe I use this as a review on MAL, too.
My first review ever^^

Yonen Buzz
Yonen Buzz is a musi
c-themed manga by the german mangaka Christina Plaka. I´ve read the prequel Prussian Blue and wanted to know how the story continues.

Story:
The manga is about a band called "Plastic Chew" and their struggles to get a record contract
. The band member are Jun (guitar, vocals), Keigo (drums), Atsushi (bass) and Sayuri, the second vocalist. In Prussian Blue, she recently moved to the boys' flat and fell in love with Jun. In Yonen Buzz, she studies music and has no more time for the band practices and also not for Jun, who´s very sad about it. He ruins a audition and the band doesn´t get a contract. After that, Sayuri decides to start a solo carrier and the band is about to fall apart. Can the boys go on without Sayuri? Read the manga, and you´ll know it ^_^

Art:
I didn´t really like the art. Especially the faces are sometimes a bit edgy. But the backgrounds and stuff like clothes was well drawn.

Characters:
I liked the characters. Especially Jun and Sayuri developed with the story. Sayuri starts her solo carrier and doesn´t have much time to spend with J
un, but she still seems to love him. And Jun was always a bit mysterious. His past isn´t really enlightened. The readers don´t get to know what happened to his parents.
Keigo and Atsushi are more supporting, but nevertheless I liked them.

My opinion:
I liked this manga. Everyone who loves music, drama and romance storys will like this. I give it a 8/10 because I really enjoyed reading.
