Great volume!
There's quite a shift in both Chiaki and Nodame's characters in this volume with regards to their passion for music. I really love this volume, because a lot of characters on this manga made progress as individuals. I find it hilarious how people who don't know Chiaki and Nodame personally think they're actually dating and living together. Their relationship is so weird in the best way! We also get a chapter of Chiaki's childhood, something that was skipped in the anime.

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!

One of my favourite volumes that I've read so far... Chiaki's finally been recognized, and the special story about him is touching and super funny!

This volume brings us to the school festival, where all sorts of hilarity ensues! I'm always impressed with how Tomoko-san is able to bring the music alive through the pages! Astounding!
There is also a special story at the end which gives some background to Chiaki and his childhood - a nice little extra!
I'm looking forward to reading the next volume!
