Nodame Cantabile, Vol. 2

By Tomoko Ninomiya

THE COMPETITION HEATS UP There's a new kid in town, and Nodame had better be on guard. Her new rival plays timpani like a dream-and has the hots for Nodame's crush, Shinichi Chiaki. Plus, a wretched old man has his eyes (and hands) on Nodame. It's a lot to handle, for a girl who has trouble just keeping her room clean. . . . Shinichi has his own problems. A famous conductor starts a new orchestra at school, and Shinichi finally gets his chance to conduct. But he soon discovers there's more to the craft than just following notes on a page. Could this hard lesson unexpectedly turn his life around and change his destiny? Take a look into Nodame's world and find out!

About aikon

I am Japanese and I enjoy this series very much in Japanese. I hope you enjoy them, too. The translation is very good, but I would like to comment about word "aikon". This is mistake of Japanese character reading. This should be "Gou-Kon", shortening word of "Goudou-Konpa(Company)". I wounder why tranlator don't use Japanese reviewer before publishing. And page 181, explanation of nabe. This text is same as "Japanese department store" on volume 1 page 184. This is simple mistake. Nabe means one kind of food cooked and served with hot pan.
