Given‘s anime adaptation premiered in July 2019, on Fuji TV’s Noitamina programming block. The boys love anime is based on Natsuki Kizu’s manga of the same name, serialized in Shinshokan’s Sheri Plus since 2013. The series is available for streaming on Crunchyroll.

Synopsis

Somehow, the guitar that he used to love to play and the basketball games that he found so fun just lost their appeal. That was until Ritsuka Uenoyama randomly met Mafuyu Sato. Ritsuka had started losing his passion for music in his everyday life, but then he hears Mafuyu sing for the first time. The song resonates with his heart and the distance between them starts to change. (Via Crunchyroll website)

The latest addition to the Given franchise is GIVEN The Movie, which debuted in Japan in August 2020. As of February, it is also available to stream on Crunchyroll.
