Nodame Cantabile Chapter 136 Discussion

Wait, so are they still together in the end or not? It's just such a weird ending. I can't imagine Nodame saying that she would stop loving Chiaki, she loves him so much... so that part was a bit weird. I don't really know what to expect with the side story, I think it will have to do with side characters but I would rather have the loose ends tied concerning Nodame and Chiaki's current relationship status :p I know its not the main focus of this manga, but thats what kept me interested so I'm kinda pissed that it wasn't addressed in the last chapter.

That was a disappointing ending, in my view.  :(  Everything just seemed to patched together at the end.  And the hopeless romantic side of me wanted to see at the very least, one last kiss between Chiaki and Nodame.  



Oh well, let's hope the side story helps flesh out things a bit more.  



At the moment, I have it rated 8/10.  But for some reason, the last few chapters makes me want to drop it to a 7.  We'll see how I feel about it in a few days.

After hearing months ago that 136 is the end, I couldn't bring myself to finish Nodame off. I was expecting it to last longer and being at 133 at the time, I didn't think the ending would be very conclusive. I finally plucked up the courage to read the last 3 chapters and sadly, my instinct was right. The ending is rushed and poorly written. I honestly don't think Ninomiya sensei knew how she wanted to end the story and it didn't seem like she even tried. I guess it's best to end on a high than when the story becomes draggy, but still, I'm disappointed.



I'm going to put a speckle of hope on the anime trying to create a better end.

Argh, I meant to give this 3/5 but accidentally clicked on 4/5.



This did not feel like a final chapter. And as some posters mentioned, it seemed rushed.



Also the lack of a performance hurt me.



The lack of a kiss hurt too.

Felt cheated, then again all good thing must come to a end.

;( ... that's it? ... it's wrong, that shouldn't have happened. At least not like this...Why? ;(

when i finished the chapter, i was like "WHAT?!" - I thought how in the world could she end it like that? I mean yeah, she has a lot of health problems, but *still*...it seemed like it was just getting to the really good part!!!! maybe there's hope she'll continue it again one day? she *did* leave it pretty open ended...
