Description: | Nishimi Kaoru has moved from city to city and school to school because of his father’s job. So the first day at his new school was just routine for him. Being intellectual and the new transfer student, he has always been seen as an outcast and all Kaoru had to do was bear it until the next time he moved. But things were slightly different this time. First, he started to get close to the class president, Mukae Ritsuko, and, secondly, unlikely as it seemed, grew closer to Kawabuchi Sentaro. Sentaro was infamous for getting into fights, skipping class and was an overall bad boy. Strangely enough, the three of them find common ground in music, namely jazz, and Kaoru finds himself actually enjoying the new town. It won the 57th Shogakukan Manga Award for general manga. Volumes 1-6 contain unrelated oneshot extras at the end. |

If someone likes to read romance manga that isn´t full of cliches then you have to read this manga!
I've missed the characters so much. It's like I've really grown attached to them and all of them are precious! The last extra is pure gold. My heart couldn't contain all the feelings, I literally couldn't stop grinning! Gah! I really wish there would be more...
Thanks so much for these "bonus tracks." Since reading the first 45 chapters, it leaped to onto the list of my five favorite manga. The bonus tracks were a great icing on the cake, and kept the delicacy and great story of the original. It also got me to rediscover a lot of good jazz (which was good for amazon.com, as I bought a bunch of Bill Evans, Art Blakey, and three recordings of "Lullaby in Birdland). Thanks to the mangaka and the scanlators for a great ride.
theroadstopshere, I love the picture you're talking about, but what sticks in my mind is last chapter p. 37
That image grabs my heart and won't let go.
Historical Tag removed, as this is obviously not.
makes me glad that i devoted time to read it, and not just kill time
especially considering i read really bad manga yesterday
it's just feels so natural that it's going to end like this. Absolutely love this manga
Hope the final volume doesn't have a different title.
