Re: [Josei] Nodame Cantabile by Ninomiya Tomoko

eh... i just read the chapter. what's chiaki's drama now?

and i really wanna know how Nodame performed. i mean, i thought, after all her experiences in performing with people she'd have controlled herself. What could have happened that made her return to her old playing style?

Re: [Josei] Nodame Cantabile by Ninomiya Tomoko

yeah. chiaki's attitude in the last chapter kinda pissed me off... it's another cliffhanger but i hope nodame and milch can pull it off.

Re: [Josei] Nodame Cantabile by Ninomiya Tomoko

Of course Nodame and Milch can pull it off. Milch's been watching Nodame since... forever. And he's really good with musicians like her (S oke). Besides, he's looking for her particular style and Nodame's like "because you're good, you can make the Oke work even if I play like this" and stuff like that.

Re: [Josei] Nodame Cantabile by Ninomiya Tomoko

scans are out at onemanga. omg! that must have been such a brilliant performance. i felt sorry for milch. he felt so drained after. hehehe... but i'm so glad for nodame-chan.

i like this quote: since i've come this far alone, there's no need for me to run after him now. chiaki got what he deserves...

Re: [Josei] Nodame Cantabile by Ninomiya Tomoko

My I-kind-of-skimmed-through-the-raw-and-didn't-look-anything-up thoughts on 129. None of this is guaranteed to be accurate.

Spoiler

Apparently Nodame's concert is like a huge international hit, with newspaper articles and TV coverage. I think they all said how great she was, but there was a lot of kanji I didn't know, so they could have been playing she is a light-purple colored alien for all I know. Moving on.

We get reactions for everyone seeing the news coverage of Nodame's sucess, including -- Mine! Miki! Masumi! Chiaki's family! Nodame's family! Yay!!!!! I almost cried. I really miss the supporting cast from Japan. I love Nodame and Chiaki's relationship so much more in Paris, but the supporting characters are kind of blah.

Anyway, Nodame crashes in her PJs. Elise is trying to make like a thousand new concert -- appointments? arrangements? for her, and inviting her to join the company or the office or whatever. Nodame declares that she isn't going to play anymore. She also refuses phone calls from Chiaki, who is at orchestra rehearsal freaking out and being a bad conductor, while everyone comments on his girlfriend problems. Good going, Chiaki. Stresemann comes bearing gifts for Nodame, and then freaks out when Elise tells him Nodame isn't going to play anymore. The end.

I'm glad Nodame is staying true to her mentally-unstable character. I love her weirdness. But my god, how long before we see Nodame and Chiaki together again? HOW LONG!!!????

Re: [Josei] Nodame Cantabile by Ninomiya Tomoko

I think the mangaka is building it up to the climax (although the ultimate climax won't be till a little while longer) when the two of them finally snap. Nodame realizes her really path to take in music. The thing is, before getting there, she'll attempt to do many things to find her niche- will it be playing as a celebrated soloist, or as a member of some trio, or a kindergarten teacher? and she'll also shut herself from a lot of external factors, chiaki being one of them.

at the same time chiaki has to face many things. along with his facing music head on like stresseman tells him, he has to face love like that as well. but the agony will be that when he tries to do just that, it's Nodame who rejects him to focus on music.

my prediction on the conclusion is that they finally realize that love and music should really go together, and not as separate things that they have to compromise.

Re: [Josei] Nodame Cantabile by Ninomiya Tomoko

well there should be some now i think... but I dunno, I'm not the type of person who looks at raws. i'm only interested in scanlated releases
