So, I'm looking for a manga where the characters are in training to do something, and hopefully by the last couple volumes they are doing this thing. EDIT; (Or if its ongoing, that doesn't matter. Just this should be the case if its completed. )

Examples; Candidate for Goddess, Twin Spica (I'll be triply thankful if its about astronauts like this one. I've been wanting to read another one like it), and Skip Beat!. I would prefer more of a schoolish setting then Skip Beat, but that is not required.

Animes are good, too.

Please and thank you.

I suppose by this that it left out all the ongoing manga right?

In Hajime no Ippo he's training to be a boxer, but he actually starts before the end of the series, don't know if that counts.

Mixed Vegetables the story revolves around two students who want to be chefs. It's not complete yet, there are only 2 volumes scanlated

Veritas

I'll think of more in a bit.

Most of Adachi Mitsuru's work fits, but I especially liked H2 and Cross Game which are both about high school baseball. Both have an anime and H2 was also made into a decent live-action drama a few years ago. Crossgame is currently airing and it's really good! It's the only thing I've watched for the past two seasons.

Beck music; not really a school setting, though. This is also anime.

Crimson Hero Nobara plays high school volleyball
Beauty Pop hair-styling (sounds silly, and it is, but it's fun)
Tennen Pearl Pink acting

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've reading/read a couple, but there are some I haven't read yet. Thanks!

If you don't mind more fantasy, Ultra Maniac has a witch in training. The anime and the manga are slightly different in storyline after a point, but they're both decent.

There's also Phantom Dream - the main character is learning how to control his powers as a summoner to banish demons. (not a school setting)

La Corda d'Oro - classical music training
Romance from the Thumb - massage training
Honey Hunt - becoming an actress (not a school setting)
