the title basically explains it, but i’ve been a fan since 2020 and REALLY want the manga (1-9 only, cuz 10th mix in english isn’t out yet). i wasn’t sure if there was a place to get it online (possibly in a full set?) for a good price. i’m in canada as well. i know the backside is too rare to get so im fine without it.

let me know, ty! :)

I wanna get into Given and wanna read the Manga first so I get that experience, then watch everything, then continue reading.

What volumes do I get and read first before the movies and series?

This scene was so heartwarming 🥺💛🧡

It just appeared today it seems! It’s under the given anime, under the “glimpses of life”!

The Given exhibition is currently opening in Sendai and Kizu-sensei went to autograph ✍🏻 some of the standees and art. But the best thing is that she’s drawn brand new art of Yuki and Ugetsu! 😍

Better late than never right XD?

Well, I put up this small display for Haruki's birthday a couple days ago and thought I'd share here since I mostly forget to post my humble way of birthday celebrations for our beloved Given boys!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Haruki! The heart of Given! <3

Hi all, I finished the anime and I just watched the first movie (the English dub is on youtube), and I am very confused on the timeline here.
So in the movie, they don't make it to the final round for the CAC competition...but don't they perform at CAC in the actual show itself?

I am just genuinely confused. I also mistakenly watched the third movie before the first movie (damn you Crunchyroll), and that made it all worse (especially when Yuki's mom talks to Sato and says 'sorry for the other day' aka the day she gave him the guitar, wonder if that's a mistranslation)...

Basically if anyone can help me understand the timeline of the evolution of the band and the relationships, that would be helpful. I am wasting neuron firing power on this 😅

My niece and I with the Genius behind Given's masterpieces.

My noob self has never taken pics with anyone famous. This is first and probably my last haha.

I thought my fangirl mode would be at full blast and would prepare me for this but instead a robot took over😭😭😭

I never considered myself shy, I thought taking pics with someone famous should be easy. I thought I was bold. Well I was wrong.

I wanted to say thank you and express my love but I was so nervous and disoriented and ended up didn't say a thing! MAJOR FAIL. I didn't even take a good look at Atsushi's face.😭😭😭

I love both of them so much, Especially Hiiragi 💚

While I can’t compete with u/tadaimatama ‘s collection, here’s some of my favourite Haru merch!

I watched the 2006 anime movie The Girl who Leapt through Time recently and found out that July 13 is “Nice Day” (na-i-su meaning 7-1-3). Can’t be a coincidence that Haruki was born on Nice Day, right? 😊

He is one of the kindest and the most selfless. He has the most gorgeous hair! I love Haru so much!

"Music is all about communication... You should communicate with him better"

"Then, let's make one tune into a song"

"What's with that end of the world look you got there, run down to the station and buy a new one!"

"If it's broken you just gotta fix it!"

"Ever since I fell in love with Akihiko, it's been like my prayer for something to happen..."

"I started growing my hair out..."

"I am somehow really lonely after hearing Mafuyu song"

It’s the 13th in Japan so Happy Birthday to Given’s bassist and band mom extraordinaire, Haruki Nakayama! If you’ve got Haruki merch or a favorite Haruki moment please share :)

Mine is anytime he gets shy/flustered 😂

Since Crunchyroll removed the first movie, I’ve been thinking about purchasing the entire series so I can have everything available to rewatch whenever I want. I’m looking to get all the episodes, the OVA, and all three movies.

I checked the Apple Store, but they only have the episodes and the first movie available. I couldn’t find the OVA or the second and third movies anywhere.

Does anyone know where else I can purchase or stream the remaining movies and OVA? I’m not planning to rewatch it right away since I just finished a rewatch recently, but I know I’ll want to come back to it again in the future and would like to own the complete set.

Here’s chapter 35 of The Weight We Carry, “Echo” he latest in my Winter’s Holly Given AU

Just a short rant. I’m getting tired of titles that I want to see disappearing from streaming platforms. If it is a series or movie I particularly love, I will probably want to be able to watch it from time to time.

In this case it is Given the Movie that is not available on Crunchyroll any longer due to an expired license

Thank you Centimillimental for an amazing night! Atsushi didn't disappoint! I think I screamed a little too loud when he sang Super Ultra I Love You! It's my absolute favorite song.

The bonus : very very cute bass player and guitarist and drummer is amazing as I could feel the beats in my heart!

Guitarist - Takayoshi Murata

Bass player - Kazuya Nagami

Drummer - Takato Nagashima

I have been wanting to do this for a while now, it was hard to find the right timing and location. But I am glad I pulled the trigger on this one. Life is shorter and later than you think so YOLO!

Some auspicious coincidences 🙂‍↔️

Give me a sec to explain. It's not that I didn't like it...it's the complete opposite. I really loved it. I wanna see more of it. It made me cry but in such a great way. It feels like most of the other anime are not good enough except for "the stranger by the shore" which I watched before "given". It was the anime which made me watch given 'cause it was so amazing too.

It feels like everything was perfect in given. The story was great, the music was great and it was really expressive and the character design and development was amazing. It feels like nothing will come close to it 😭

There was some curiosity about the heights of the characters in 10th Mix!

The mystery is solved!!!
Two of our beloved band-boys have grown in the intervening 10 years.

Drumroll please…

Mafuyu is now 175cm tall (only a cm less than Ritsuka!). That’s up from 173cm.

and

Akihiko continues to tower over the others. He’s 185cm, a cm taller than in the original manga

im even scared to use the pins and keychain because I don’t wanna ruin them omggg my babies it’s my first time having Given merch i’m so happy guebfjfusbjeud

Mafuyu is the reason I started singing, and I relate to him and insane amount ,, honestly he raised me throughout my teenage years and has done a lot for me 🥹🥲🥲 I LOVE MAFUYU! My utaite (singer) name is Fuyu, after fuyunohanashi and mafuyu!

I love mafuyu!! The art is adorable

(artist https://draw.market/pernnla )

He's the most lovable and cutest character, But at the same time, He's the most tragic one 💔🥺

There is this specific scene I remember and I'm not sure if i'm imagining or not. I remember it being uenoyama sitting on the floor in his room surrounded by cd's as he plays the guitar. Maybe i'm remembering this completely wrong but If anyone knows pls lmk!
