In The Golden Sheep, high schooler, Tsugu Miikuri has a passion for the guitar. After moving back to her hometown after 7 years, she finds that her childhood friends -- Asari, Yuushin, and Sora -- have all changed, for better or for worse.
The story focuses on bullying. I really enjoyed the way the manga depicts the emotions of the victims.

It felt realistic to see them try to ignore how embarrassed they were by the bullying even though it wasn't any of their faults. It was also interesting to see the author depict male bullies as physically violent, while the female bullies were more sly, and focused on excluding others from their group while gossiping about them.

I really liked the comic's sense of realism, and the way it broached sensitive topics.
