@sillyfanturtle, sorry for the delay but I finally got around to answering the second question you had in your ask!

THE "TRIGGER" TO EVOLVE:

Kizu I think specifically kept in ambiguous so that the reader can read it in many different ways so here I am just presenting my interpretation. Let's talk about Ugetsu for a hot second. In retrospect, every jab like "show me music that's worth listening to" is actually Ugetsu's own way of trying to trigger Akihiko to love music and MAKE music wholeheartedly again. Ugetsu puts himself on a pedestal to hopefully ignite the fire within Akihiko. But it's actually been causing the opposite effect on Akihiko, the hurtful words and actions chipping away at his self-esteem and confidence in music. But Ugetsu doesn't seem to realise that...

Then, it was at that first performance that Ugetsu saw how Mafuyu and himself are similar, he strongly believed that they were musical genius-types who use music as a form of emotional outlet.

So in Ch 13, Ugetsu thought that he can also be the trigger for Mafuyu to not only use music as an emotional outlet, but to truly love and create music.

The "he" Ugetsu is referring to here is I believe Mafuyu. He is thinking, I, a successful musician, can be both Akihiko and Mafuyu's triggers to fall in love with music and create music wholeheartedly. Ugetsu at this point in the story means well but his approach is quite ego-centric; which is to have people be consistently in awe of you or put yourself on a pedestal.

Now i want to defend Ugetsu for a tangent, Ugetsu has been conditioned to think that loneliness and genius is tied. He grew up lonely, then when he found music, other people only ever saw him as a genius including Akihiko, which further alienated him from people. Society has attributed his self-worth akin to that of a musical genius, so that's all he has ever known, that's the only language he knows to show others that he cares.

Hence Ugetsu invites Mafuyu to his concert. And it works! (to a degree) Mafuyu, in awe of Ugetsu, says, "Akihiko, I want to make music".

---

Then we come to Ch 26. Where Akihiko has a huge fight with Ugetsu when he mentions he wants to move out, then the moment Akihiko sees Haruki, he says, "it's good to be home". Now this is very important. While Haruki doesn't actively do anything like Ugetsu to trigger Akihiko, Haruki was the one was founded the band and indirectly created a HOME for all the members of Given, including Akihiko.

Then Ch 27, Akihiko was just about to spiral when Haruki bonked him on the head to snap him out of it.

REMEMBER, Ugetsu is there, Ugetsu sees all this.

Later, Akihiko says, "When did I start hating music? Even though I once loved it so much, even though I once remember shivering in awe like I am right now, the first time I heard Ugetsu play...That's right...I love music".

Same chapter, a realisation dawns on Ugetsu.

He himself is not the trigger. Haruki is. He doesn't know quite what Haruki has done, but he could see over the past few months that Akihiko isn't latched onto him anymore, Akihiko is finding the confidence to leave him, to evolve, because Akihiko has finally recognised Haruki as a place to come home to.

Given implicitly demonstrates that the trigger to get someone to commit to music wholeheartedly isn't to create distance between yourself and them but putting yourself above them, but to create a HOME, a safe space with love and support. Loneliness and genius isn't inherently tied, but love and music is.

(this is all implied) Mafuyu was able to accurately capture his own emotions as well as Akihiko and Ugetsu's emotions in Yoru Ga Akeru because he had Haruki, as the bass, the foundation of the band supporting him to do so (and Uenoyama guiding him). Mafuyu becomes more daring and confident on stage because of his new found family of the Given band.

The fact that Akihiko realises he love music is because Haruki and Given is a home he can go to.

I hope I answered your question!

Ugetsu Murata ❤️

Everytime I watch the anime and movie, I always feel like I wanted to protect Ugetsu. He's the type of person that really needs a long long hug. Like a precious little baby that needs someone to protect and take care of him. Am I wrong about this?

🧡✨Given Hugs✨🧡

Words can’t express how much these hugs mean to me.

So tight you feel nothing bad will ever happen to you, a shield against the world.

So meaningful that not even a whole volume could say as much as they do in one frame.

They are regretful and apologetic, thoughtful and caring, envy and pity, sadness and love, embracing and understanding.

#if anyone ever embraced me like that I would evaporate on the spot #also the parallels between the two couples 😭😭😭#emotional hugs #given #given manga #given anime #uenoyama x mafuyu #akihiko x ugetsu #uenoyama ritsuka #sato mafuyu #kaji akihiko #murata ugetsu #kizu natsuki #uenoyama given #mafuyu given #akihiko given #ugetsu given #bl anime #bl manga

Now I'm holding my face in the basement

Scratching away for any trace

Of affection you will leave

Falling victim to the public's prey…

Well I won't hold on, no I can't hold on, I won't hold on to this

Anyone is suitable for you I guess tonight // Anyone is suitable for you I guess // You weren't fazed // It's over with // You, my beautiful

calling all editors/animators/fan-artists/lyric gif makers

i'm not talented enough (yet! i still have hope) to do this but i really, really need someone to edit mafuyu and yuki and uenoyama to labyrinth by taylor swift. It makes so much sense to me, and i really want content with that.
