| hate hino!! by IHemmy on November 10th, 2009, 3:42am |
|
In the beginning I thought Hino was already weird when she absurdly got scared over a damn fairy and even rejects the gift of a magic violin. Who does that cuz i know why i would take that opportunity and run with it -_- As the story progresses, the only redeeming factor was the history of music in what seemed like filler chapter/episodes at most. THEN as she started to feel "guilty", Hino started with the weirdest chain of thoughts..Who the hell says "im not worthy to play the violin"?!?!?! I thought the goal was to LEARN so you can play on your own anyways so why the hell are you depressed when you play a regular violin and nothing but scratchy sounds comes out!!!! HINO IS SO DAMN DEPRESSING!!! She is also such a doormat when ppl bullys her to quit. SOO basically Hino has crossed into my pathetic heroine who needs an injection of courage and common sense.

| Losing Interest by thebikernun on October 14th, 2009, 4:09am |

When I first started reading this I was thrilled. It was fun and the art is well done. The story line is very passionate in a lot of areas. Now I am finding myself slowly turned off. It appears that this manga will never end and the characters are starting to lose their depth.

For one, i love the guys. Actually maybe just Hihara. But whatever.
Lately, there seems to be more "development" taking place.
But then again, they've gotten even more characters in. I know it's because of the otome game, but still, this is getting to be quite a chore. You can obviously see who she's into now, so the new guys are merely serving as eye candy and to make you go: _____ is so hot/cute/drool-worthy !!!!
I'm one of those who have only a bit of a qualm for the slow pace this is going, but really, the massive number of guys have led to most (if not all) of them being flat characters.
Still, despite the magic violin thing, the people are relatively real. Hino is a main character i enjoy reading about. She's not too rash, not too shy, just trying to do her best and getting stuck or confused as she goes about doing so. Also, Hihara's silent admiration for her was beautifully portrayed. I think this touch of realism is what keeps me hooked onto the series.
Quite a relaxed and light read, no pain (unlike Ouran where you go all wretched after looking at that beautiful window scene when Kaoru looks at Haruhi), no dark traumatised past, plenty of eye candy and good art, read for fluff.
I'm giving this a 7 because it's what it sells itself as. A light fluffy read for females that is not too over the top. A decent (initially, when existing) plot with good art.

| I like it by Auro-Cyanide on July 14th, 2009, 6:25pm |

I must say I have a soft spot for reverse harem and La Corda D'Oro is one of the best. I like that the girl dosn't fall over herself for one guy. Alot of people winge about the amount of guys (and there are ALOT) but you have to remember that this is based on a game that amounts to a dating sim. It is supposed to be like that.
I don't think Hino is spineless. I think she shows alot of bravery and courage. It's just she tends to be more... normal I suppose. She isn't in your face tough or bubbly, she actually reminds me of a normal human, quite and shy sometimes, dislikes confrontation, laughs with her friends and has akward embarressing moments. She just is alot quiter in tone then other heroines, and it's not a bad thing.
And finally, alot of people worry about the magical violin thing, and truthfull I thought it was a bit weird too, though nothing to stop you reading it. Remember it is based on a game. And how else would you get a total ametur into music like that. Like any manga, sometimes you just have to let go of your rationality and get on with it.

it's dragging on... and on... and on... just end it already.
And pretend I didn't rate it a ten. I'm leaving my old rating hoping it'll pick up some speed.

| Typical Shoujo Stupidity by Molenir on June 9th, 2009, 12:11pm |
|
I like Shoujo mangas. I'll admit it. I normally am fine with all the silliness that you find in the typical shoujo story. I watched the anime when it came out, and thought, why not give the manga a try. As I started to read it, I found myself thinking, this girl is just brainless fluff. Chapter 4, was particularly pathetic, as the girl is 'challenged' with her music, and rather then responding as most girls would, instead acts idiotic, and ends up having to be saved by one of the guys. I mean come on, if a bunch of girls challenge you, and say moronic stuff like, we'll never acknowledge you, say, "well, I have no desire to be recognized by you, as for whether or not I belong in the concourse, why not wait til the performance before making a decision."
Hino shows over and over, that rather then being a strong heroine, with opinions and desires of her own, she is merely a typical brainless heroine, who constantly needs to be saved. Grow a spine girl! After reading a good portion of this manga, I find myself thinking something unusual. That the anime is better then the manga.

a very good manga - recommended.
BUT Spoiler (highlight to view) toooo many males in competition for her love. it really is a harem. i mean, she's a nice girl but not so amazing that every guy she meets starts blushing all the time.

Since it involves with music, I watched the anime to enjoy it throughly. However I made a mistake there. I'm glad that I still picked the manga up after being annoyed a number of times by Kahoko in the anime.
The lightly romance is a fresh change once in a while and some characters are likable. I don't like the whole magic violin things but apart from that, this manga is a good read. |
