Nodame Cantabile Chapter 120 Discussion

I find Chiaki's reactions to Rui's playing disturbing. It gives me an ominous feeling. His heart was palpitating, and he was acting a bit "off"....



Rui better not interfere with Nodame and Chiaki.

This Rui x Chiaki thing is making me uber uneasy. I mean, it seems like Chiaki is beginning to think that "Rui" is his ideal... And right before the last page it seems like Chiaki cleaned Rui's apartment? or am I mistaken? anyway, like Rui is sort of replacing Nodame...an upgrade?



Exactly! This chapter completely frustrates me! Is Chiaki implying that he's crushing on Rui? Is he saying Nodame and Rui are similar in playing style, but Rui and him are more in sync? I don't care. I was happy when Rui was being slapped around by Auclair. I feel bad that Auclair's work in preparing Nodame is going to waste since Nodame is debuting without him, but then again, it's sweet that Milch wants Nodame to be the last thing he hears...before you know.



I hate Rui. She's not bad but when a character threatens a character I have taken a liking to, no matter what, I start getting pissy and overprotective. >:(

I love how Nodame describes her emotions.  it's one of the reasons  why she is my top fave character.



Rui and Chiaki...why is it that Rui is depicted as Nodame's rival in all aspects of her life?  In music and now in her love life?  Oh...i really hope not.  



Nodame seems really hopeless without Chiaki, huh.  Chiaki, the ideal wife.  :P

LOL @ Nodame depression making beautiful sounds.

hmmmm...hmmmm....



I'm really wondering about this whole Chiaki and Rui business...what does he feel toward her?  What adds to my worries is the fact that Nodame and Chiaki have such an odd relationship -_-*



But yeah...nothing special happened in this chapter...it feels like FOREVER since the last chapter :-P  I can't wait till the next! (as usual)

Nodame is my favorite character, and she has to be strong! Show Chiaki that your skills are exponentially growing rapidly! Be so awesome that you will be the main character again >.< *tears in eyes* I wish that the releases would come more quickly!

THIS IS AN MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.

                Aww poor Nodame. She's in Chiaki-loss right now. x3

Hopefully this whole thing will be over soon, Rui is nice but I don't like it when Chiaki spends too much time with her.



Also, Chiaki wants to conduct with opera? Wow... that's something. o_o'
