Ooh...and those negative parts of his character development are starting to show up in his personality.

I'm guessing this is kind of a serious take on what would happen if a person holds a one-sided rivalry on a friend for so long.

@dinamitek
Me too. The girl (I forgot her name) is not suited to be Kai's girlfriend at all

I practically ate my way through this manga. I could not stop reading. One of the best series I can remember in a long time.

I took a really long time to pick up reading this series. It just didn't seem like my thing. But it was being scanlated by one of my favorite groups at the time (SnoopyCool) and when they stopped releasing altogether I started reading all the other titles they'd released that I had at first thought weren't my cup of tea.

Piano no Mori is now one of my all time favorite comics - except for one thing. Too dang short. I'm an addict here and they're barely giving me enough of the goods to stay alive. More! More! More!
