On the English portion of the internet there's not too much information on the author of the light novel series, Ayano Takeda, other than she was born in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture in 1992. This is also the location of the show, the consensus online is Kitauji High School is probably based on Kyoto Prefectural Todo Senior High School in real life, going off the uniforms. I have however found a long translated interview with her discussing the light novels and she confirmed she joined concert band in her fifth year of elementary school and played euphonium at least through all of middle school (and it's implied probably through most of high school as well). Takeda-san started writing the first light novel in her second year of university whilst her memories of high school were still vivid, it was also her sophomore published work, after her debut novel, 'We Breathed Together Today'. I'll send you the link to the interview but you might want to avoid reading it for now; cos it contains potential spoilers as well as stuff that doesn't happen the same in the anime which might cause confusion.

Asuka's part of the story is far from over but it's also not gonna be entirely straightforward either. As is usually the case with Sound! Euphonium, drama & conflict is often present, but it'll take the necessary amount of time and get resolved properly rather than just get glossed over. You went through the wringer emotionally with this episode, to the point where you didn't even comment on Midori getting to play her Yamaha electric bass instead of her double bass George during the outdoor performance. Thought with your current bass-playing trip it might've caught your attention more. When I originally recommended the show I think I did warn you it contained a fair bit of drama, but that it's also a show nearly tailor made for your background.

Blame your cryin to Ayano Takeda for her masterful writing and the team of Kyoto Animation for the amazing adaptation of the novel. HE HE. In a packed emsemble of great characters Asuka has a special place in my heart. When I first saw the slap scene I almost shout to the screen.

I was totally waiting for the electric bass comment when I saw her playing it! :)

That slap was a moment!...Didn't expect it to go there.
