Synopsis:
The Kitauji high school concert band club had at one time participated in national tournaments and was a champion school, but after the club's adviser changed, they had not been able to even participate in the qualifying tournament. However, thanks to the newly appointed adviser's strict instruction, the students are steadily improving and build up their strength. As they fight over who plays solos, some students give priority to studying and quit club activities. Finally, the long wished-for day of the competition arrives, and the club wins the qualifying tournament.

Thank you!!
Does anyone know what happened to the translation of this novel?
I checked on YenPress, but it looks like they only translated Volume 1 so far. (Back in 2017.)
Did this sell so bad that they never got to translate the other volumes?
And although the anime adaption was rather popular (I think), it looks like there are no fan translations of this novel either?
You might want to fix that synopsis since that is probably a pretty big spoiler in there.
