Goodreads Synopsis:

Music and longing collide in this ballad of unrequited love!

Nino Arisugawa, a girl who loves to sing, experiences her first heart-wrenching goodbye when her beloved childhood friend, Momo, moves away. And after Nino befriends Yuzu, a music composer, she experiences another sad parting! Luckily, Nino reunites with Momo and Yuzu in high school, but things haven’t played out the way anyone expected…

Yuzu and Nino have been tasked with writing the debut song for a popular fashion model duo. They manage to complete their first collaboration…but to what end? Meanwhile, Tsukika goes in search of Momo, but will she be able to find him when all she has is a questionable lead?

Review:

Nino and Yuzu have agreed to write a song for this duo, and they are not quite what they expected. They give them very contrasting wants for the song, and a rather short deadline. The first couple tries they give are fine, but not what the duo want. Yuzu becomes determined to write the perfect song for them, and Nino sees something in their voices that they aren't showing.
It's a challenge, but they're determined to do it right.
Meanwhile, Momo is finally found. Both tours are drawing near. And Miou finally confronts her feelings for Yuzu and Haruyoshi. The Haruyoshi confrontation actually surprised me, but I like where they left things. I think there's still hope there, and while I feel bad for him for hanging on like this, I'm glad he's holding strong.
Of course, Nino is still between Yuzu and Momo, without realizing it. Just more torture for all of them there.
There might be confrontations coming up, there might not. It's a little hard to tell. It'll be good either way, though.
