Nodame Cantabile Manga Reviews

A tale of the trials and tribulations of going after your dreams! A classic in relation to both (classical) music and manga! If you liked Chihayafuru, you might like this one too!

This josei title is near and dear to me, as it is the one that taught me to appreciate romance. I wasn't one to actively seek out romance stories, but I had to check it out because of its use of classical music as a central theme. Aside from the burgeoning romance of the main couple, the series depicts the struggles of starting a career in classical music and how it brings the protagonists together and tears them apart.
