My first book for the Mehsi needs a breather relax time. I won't be reading a lot this week, but I want to read a few books.
This one was tons of fun though I am still not a fan of Streseman and how he treats people/Chiaki. There are also exams and I wondered how Mine and Nodame even got so far given they don't know a lick of German. :P But Chiaki is kind at least for them and tries to help him (well, with some threats from the father). Further a lot of hilarity, stress about performances, the orchestra finds a fun way to work (or well, Chiaki finds a way t0 make it work). I had tons of laughs about the things that happened in here.

Amo ver como Chiaki se está suavizando 💓, además la "parábola" que le enseña Nodame con Purin Gorota es lo máximo 😂.

I think Chiaki is great even though he is halfway done with his learning as conductor. He suddenly replaced Stresemann and conducted the S orchestra that has many problems. It was almost out of his control, but Chiaki could get his way to make the orchestra better. I like this volume.

Nodame Cantabile Vol 3!
Jadi di Volume ini, Chiaki yang akhirnya dapat restu dari Milky buat belajar conducting dari dia, diserahi tanggung jawab besar. Usut punya usut karena Milky marah soalnya "harem"'-nya naksir sama Chiaki semua 😁 Dia murka dan nggak mau ngelatih S Orchestra lagi! Tapi dia bilang dia bakal ngelatih A Orchestra dan akan mempermalukan Chiaki. Chiaki sih tahu S Orchestra emang isinya musikus madesu, tapi dia bertekad untuk tetap conducting S Orchestra karena dia tahu ada banyak konduktor baru yang nggak punya daya dan ini adalah kesempatan buat dia untuk menunjukkan kemampuannya.
Seperti biasa, Nodame Cantabile selalu guyonan yang menggelitik. Nggak pernah gagal bikin ngakak. 4/5.
Buku ini dibaca untuk tantangan #SehariSebuku Hari Keenam.

Another volume full of laughters and I really like it. An entertaining read.
Still not a fan of Stresemann though, this old guy is creepy and cringey.
Other than that old man, I really like everything. Nodame and Chiaki relationship is growing strong, Chiaki kinda getting warmer towards Nodame, and the banter still hilarious, and also I love that S orchestra debut, challenging but super funny.

This was so good. Yes it's a bit predictable but far more preferable to the "jokes" of previous volumes. Finally we're getting serious.

Este es el tomo que más me gustó. Tiene momentos de risa muy tiernos. Mine y su papá tienen papeles más relevantes y se agradece mucho.
Nodame es y sigue siendo linda persona.
Y Chiaki a pesar de ser un torpe con todos se aprecia su exigencia.
Lindo manga para sentirse fresco y feliz.

This review is for the series as a (almost) whole, reviewing after reading books 1-10.
It took me quite some time to really get into this series. Books 2-4 were okay. They kept me entertained and curious enough to keep going, but I don't think it was really until book 5 that I really got invested in the series and Nodame and Shinichi.
I'm not a fan of classical music so some of the lingo and storylines went over my head, but I got the gist of most stuff. Shinichi finds himself stuck with Nodame no matter how mean he is to her. He tries to make her aware that he wants nothing to do with her, but when something goes wrong he is always there. When she leaves their apartment complex mysteriously for a long period of time he must know what happened and if she's okay. And Nodame loves him despite everything. Even though she's a little nutty and extremely childlike she does her best to take care of him, ultimately giving him the greatest gift she could give him and he doesn't even know it.
Unfortunately, the library only has the first 10 books so I'm on the hunt for books 11-16 which is proving to be harder than I thought. I did also find that Crackle has the anime series available to watch!

Amusing and diverting enough. It is the music that is sustaining my interest. Apart from that, the plot is interesting despite the characters being a mix of realistic, frustrating and just plain strange.

Chiaki replaces Maestro Milky in conducting the Orchestra S. Despite behaving like a dictator the whole time, he finally realizes the members of the Orchestra are like Nodame, and they perform an incredible concert.
Chiaki is still a bit bitchy, but he improves as a Conductor in this volume.

Slice of life musical manga. D lent it to me after we watched the TV series. So far I have to say I enjoy the TV series more, but the manga can be funny as well.
