Nodame Cantabile ( Japanese の だ め カ ン タ ー ビ レ , Nodame Kantābire ) (Italian “ Cantabile ”, means “singable” or “song-like”) is a manga series by the Japanese illustrator Tomoko Ninomiya , which appeared in Manga magazine from 2001 to 2009 Kiss as well as in a total of 23 edited volumes. The manga series was also implemented as a dorama , two real-life films and three anime television series and is being continued by the spin-off Nodame Cantabile encore opera hen . The multi-award-winning manga is the most commercially successful manga of all time that was drawn for adult women, i.e. it belongs to the Josei genre.

The manga is about the story of the unusual pianist Megumi Noda ( Nodame ) and the rising conductor Shin'ichi Chiaki.

action

In his childhood, Shin'ichi Chiaki traveled with his father, a world-famous pianist, and his mother through Europe and got to know and love classical music. The conductor Sebastiano Viera often took care of him and became his role model. At the age of twenty-one, he studied at the Momogaoka College of Music. His fear of airplanes and the sea keep him from studying abroad. Although he dedicated himself to playing the piano at college and is considered one of the best students, his real dream is to become a conductor and composer. Shin'ichi is arrogant and sees most of the other students as unskilled.

Megumi Noda, often called "Nodame", also studies piano at the Momogaoka College of Music and has her apartment next to Shin'ichi's. She is also talented, but not good at reading music; she mainly plays through her hearing - the latter is extraordinarily pronounced. Megumi is portrayed as a slob, but she has numerous serious symptoms of messie syndrome - her apartment succumbs to chaos and is full of trash. Megumi herself even neglects her personal hygiene. She stands in extreme contrast to Shin'ichi, who cultivates a perfectionist, orderly nature.

When Shin'ichi falls out with his piano teacher at the college, he receives someone else who is said to only take the rebellious students. Megumi, who is with the same teacher, and he then often get lessons together and are supposed to study pieces together. Megumi falls in love with Shin'ichi.

By chance, Megumi met the famous German conductor Franz von Stresemann, who immediately recognized Megumi's talent. He introduces himself to her as Milch Holstein and due to the fact that Nodame thinks this is a real name, she calls him Milchi. It turns out that Stresemann is an old friend of the director of the university and thus receives a visiting professorship at the university, where he leads the school orchestra and teaches Chiaki.

Chiaki is hindered in his dream of becoming a world conductor because of his fear of airplanes and the sea. Nodame helps him overcome this fear. But Chiaki also supports Nodame and encourages her to take a more serious look at playing the piano. They travel to Europe together. Nodame studied piano in Paris, while Chiaki secured a reputation as a conductor, including leading the renowned Roux Marlet Orchestra.

Ninomiya had to interrupt her work on the manga several times.

After recovering, she resumed work on the manga in March 2009, but had to retire for a month in June due to appendicitis .
