one of my top 3 mangas of all time!
i love how it concentrates on music and the heorine is pretty strong and doesn't give up
the guys are all really good looking
a really good plot...i really can't wait for the next chapter
i don't even know why i haven't read this before...

if you like the anime then read the manga...if you like the manga then watch the anime

it's worth your time...seriously!

The art is good. The storyline is interesting and the characters are likable. However, sometimes it all felt a bit flat and half-hearted to me. And the whole deal with the fairy- it seemed like he was the one who set things in motion, but after that, it felt like the mangaka was going "ah, so where should I go with this fairy character?".

I love this manga/anime alot!

At first, I watched the anime. Because it's a music story and all, I thought it'd be more interesting with sound when you could actually hear the pieces they were playing. Although that does add a good effect, the manga was just so much better. Kahoko seemed weak, annoying, and fake in the anime (maybe I'm going a bit overboard...). In the manga, she seemed more genuine and not so much of that innocent type of girl anime brings out sometimes (Does anyone know what I mean? That high-pitched voice that screams goody-two-shoes?). Plus, all the vibrant colors kinda turned me off sometimes. I don't know what it's like in the game though, so maybe it's just my preference for manga. Plus Kazuki and Ryotaro weren't dark-skinned. It's not that I mind dark skin, it's just that they looked ridiculous with that bright green hair too. The colored manga pages seems to have all the hair colors toned down a bit.

What I'm trying to say is: don't watch the anime. Read the manga. Because it's good.

This is probably the only reverse-harem type that I'll approve of. They all actually have a reason to like Kahoko, and it doesn't feel as forced as it does in other reverse-harems where there's this girl that's incredible and everyone just falls for her. Kahoko's not perfect, so the boys have to connect with her on a deeper level.

This series is THE BEST! I love it so much! The anime was awesome too! I listened to the songs over and over! 1,000,000 / 10!!!! XD

im currently collecting this manga and can't wait for the juicy stuffs to happen. so far, the guys have been waving flags at each other. tsuchiura have already made his intentions clear in front of tsukimori, whereas tsukimori is buying time to get to know her more before he leaves for his study abroad. argh, i can't wait for the next chapters.

Well, from what I've read so far, it's good. It's mostly like the same kind of shoujo manga. The art is well done, and for the anime, I really loved the music. I recommend this to anyone who's interested in music.

i LOVED da anime
except i think dat kaho is a bit well too girly and ditsy to predictable and not bold and outgoing enough dats ma only complaint

EDIT-

Okay done all 75 awesome chapters.

Negatives:
- Aoi: I don't think it was necessary to add him into the story. He ended up being a duplicate of Kazuki: Both guys loved/liked Hino but didn't tell her their feelings. Aoi's super handsome, but I still don't think it was necessary.
- Shoko: We see nothing new about her. I know it's harem, but why introduce her and not give her a plot at all! I'm biased because I'm a clarinetist as well. ;D
- Len: Don't get me wrong because I love his character. What I don't like is the development between Hino and him. It's weird because it starts very later in the story. Feels a bit odd and awkward when it happened. I know it's harem but still.
- Missing Plot: Sometimes the story gets choppy or rushed. Like, there are some missing scenes I would liked to see. I can't think of any examples but you get what I mean, right?

Positives:
- Wonderfully portrayed music manga: It was IMO, one of the best music manga I've read. I love classical music, even before I read this manga.
- Inspiration: I'm a musician even before I read this but now I'm even more inspired by Len and the others. I want to practice WAY more than I already do. I already practice 2 hours on school days, 1 hour in weekends.
- Piece choice: The songs they used for this series are awesome. I'm going to duet Clarinet Polka with a friend (We both play Clarinet) and I'm going to play a solo: Jupiter on Trombone. I might even take other songs from this series because I just love them so much.
- ART: Yes. Great art. Sometimes characters do look a bit similar to each other. But never the less, it's amazing. It was my ideal art to see in manga. The anime ruins it though, in my opinion. ._.
- Harem: I usually dislike any kind of harem manga which includes Ouran, Clannad, and others. This is the exception. Usually harems I see, they like the girl/guy for no apparent reason. In this series, there is actually progress and evidence why the guys like Hino.
- Friendship: Not only is this a wonderful romance series, it also displays friendship between opposite genders. And Nami and Shoko.
- I want to write more but I'm tired LOL

One of the best mangas i've read and also one of the best animes i've watched. it really developed my interest in classial music and the romantic sub-plot was great as well, it ended.. not quite how i wanted it but with the right person, in my opinion definitely worth reading even if music is not an interest of yours xx
