Review for the whole manga. :)I finished this series a week or so ago. And wow what a ride it was. Finally I had a chance to read the whole manga, and not just parts of it. I must say, now that I read the manga, that the anime and jdorama did quite a good job. Most we find in the manga is also found...

I know I said I wouldn't write a review until I finished, but after reading this book, I just need to vent! OMG They finally [spoiler] KISSED, ok maybe it doesn't count for much since Nodame doesn't remember much of it, but Chiaki kissed her! *cheers*. [/spoiler] So excited for what is to come ...

Chiaki is finally loosing up a bit, and he is not the cold-grumpy-bastard he was at the beginning. He even confessed Nodame is his girlfriend! We have loads of scenes of Nodame playing the piano here. Which is always cool.How Japanese eat their Soba... this is very interesting. They have to make noi...

Dukas, "The Sorcerer's apprentice".https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=CA09f_FGefA (8 pianos! I never have seen/heard before)The fight on Christmas Eve was excellent. That kick in the air.. Nodame, you rock.

I miss the S Orchestra; Mine, Masumi... And most of all, I miss the Concerts, the passion of Nodame playing the piano. Sure there are Concerts, where Chiaki is competing, but it is not the same.The good thing is that it looks like Chiaki is finally realizing he more than 'like' Nodame. To buy her a ...

Scenes with Nodame playing the piano, thankfully. She is concentrating in getting better, and she did not even care that Chiaki kissed her... until much later. And although it was just for a couple of frames, Mine appeared again.Kuroki shows up, the guy playing the oboe, but I don't remember him :S

Nodame is such a talented pianist. When she really is into it, nothing can stop her. She practices and practices until she masters it.What I like about this manga so much is that makes other people get into classical/piano music. When Nodame plays Schubert Piano Sonata No.16 D.845-1, I listened to i...

I feel that Chiaki is falling for Nodame just because of her piano's skills...He finally asks her to go with him to Europe, but she turns him down. She does not want to play piano and achieve "a higher goal" just becaue everyone tell her too. Go Nodame! Why people likes to meddle into other's people...

The best thing about reading this manga online is that, whenever Chiaki or Nodame or the Orchestra is playing a piece I don't know about, I can google it and listen to it online. Like in this case, I was not familiar with Edward Elgar Sonata Violin and Piano Op. 82, until the scene where Chiaki play...

The S Orchestra concert was so powerful, I just had to watch that scene in the dorama, and it was totally worth it. Rhapsody in Blue... WOW! So touching. So sugoi... I NEED to give this dorama another chance... Also incredible when Chiaki played the piano with Nodame. And this part I did not even ha...
