Yui
 * Has a gift for being able to sleep anywhere - College, Chapter 1

Azusa
 * Forgot to tie her hair - College, Chapter 2
 * I know she did it iin Graduation Yearbook! but I need to find the reference in the manga to the first time she did.
 * Takes role of lead vocals, but is pretty terrible at singing College, Chapter 4, College, Chapter 10

Mugi
 * Incredibly strong - College, Chapter 7

 * Also happens in Light Music!, but need the manga reference

Akira
 * Classic sort of edgy, punk girl personality and look, but does have a soft spot, though is embarrassed to show it - College, Chapter 3
 * Stuffed bunny College, Chapter 9
 * Enrolled in Education

Nao
 * Mysterious, elusive. No one seems to know her full name, and she disappears without a trace College, Chapter 8

Sawako
 * Played drums and bass in addition to guitar, but never shifted from her role as lead guitarist in the band

University LMC

 * Has almost ten bands

Anime/Manga Differences

 * Possible categories: Manga only, anime only, events, characters. Eg. 'Manga only events', 'Anime only characters' etc


 * The animal costumes are different
 * Manga has Yui in a koala outfit (Find reference)


 * Ui is slated to play keyboard by the end of the anime, but she picks up guitar in the manga


 * At Staying Behind!, the seniors get Azusa the ぶ keychain as a souvenir from Kyoto. In the manga (TL notes say vol3 pg62), Azusa gets a guitar pick.


 * During Visit!, they visit Sawako to get the yearbook checked. In the manga, they show up for the hell of it


 * Lots of characters that don't appear in both media:
 * Class 3-2 is completely unnamed and none of the other bands exist in the manga
 * Of course, the university characters and the new juniors don't show up in the anime
 * Yui's parents don't show up at all


 * The first HTT performance was a failure.


 * Mugi seems to have more of a yuri undertone in the manga than in the anime

Featured Character: Tsumugi Kotobuki, Mugi to her friends, celebrates her birthday on the 2nd of July. Sharing a sheltered upbringing with her childhood friend, Sumire Saitō, Mugi is very naive and often clueless about her surroundings, but makes up for her lack of her world knowledge with an earnest enthusiasm. Mugi is an exceptionally talented pianist, having developed her skills at an early age, and now plays a 76-key Korg Triton Extreme, which weighs a whopping 16kg (though she's somehow strong enough to lug it around). Did you know that all of the tea, cakes, and teaware that the Light Music Club is famous for actually comes from a cafe owned by a friend of the Kotobuki family?

 * Featured char: Gita. Gibson Les Paul Standard from before 2008 (after which, Standards were renamed Traditional) in Heritage Cherry Sunburst. ギー太
 * Featured song: Gīta ni Kubittake
 * Featured Episode: Instrument!


 * Featured Char: Muttan is the name of an electric guitar owned by Azusa Nakano, whose birthday is on the 11th of November! Muttan was named after its model, the 69 Reissue Mustang, produced by Fender Japan. Both the body and headstock are in Candy Apple Red, and these matching colours are unique to the model made by Fender Japan. Although this model comes standard with a tremolo bar, Azusa's does not have one installed.

As the rhythm guitar, Azusa and Muttan fill a unique role in Ho-kago Tea Time. Rhythm guitarists tend to provide rhythm and harmony at once through techniques like chords and arpeggios. Although Yui also performs a similar role, what separates Yui from Azusa is that Yui tends to use powerchords, wheras Azusa's harmonies often come from the higher end of the electric guitar's register and are more sharp and precise than Yui's sweeping chords. If that sounds a bit difficult to understand, have a listen to Fuwa Fuwa Time - the first guitar you hear is Yui's, but the second is Azusa's. However, even as the rhythm guitarist, Azusa still plays some wicked riffs like on Honey Sweet Tea Time.

However, even as the rhythm guitarist, Azusa still plays some wicked riffs like on Tokimeki Sugar, though Yui tends to get most of the big solos.

Gita is the name of the electric guitar owned by Yui Hirasawa, whose birthday is on the 27th of November! Gita is Gibson's pre-2008 Les Paul Standard, in Heritage Cherry Sunburst. After 2008, all of the 'Standard' models from before 2008 were re-branded as 'Traditional'. That is why a modern viewer might notice that Gita is a Traditional model, yet has 'Standard' on its headstock.

As the lead guitarist, Yui and Gita fill one of the most glamorous roles in the band. Whenever you hear a sweet riff or a killer solo in a Ho-kago Tea Time song, you can just bet that Yui's the one playing it. But what does a lead guitarist do when they're not playing riffs? Well, Yui also provides support to the songs by strumming chords on her guitar. In contrast to Azusa, whose rhythm guitar technique uses precise and higher notes, Yui just strums away with her beefy powerchords. Did you know that Yui uses different settings between the manga and anime? In the manga, she sets Gita's pickups to 'treble' which generally suits lead guitar. However, in the anime, she sets the pickups to middle, which uses both pickups and really accentuates her powerchords.
