To sum up what's written below (which I personally cannot confirm since I don't read Japanese...), apparently there will be one more volume of Nodame Cantabile! (Now wouldn't that be nice?) Unfortunately, I can't confirm that it's true for myself (and none of the translators I know are on hand right now). Perhaps some knowing person can enlighten to me that it's true or not?

Even though volume 23 is the final, there will be one more tankobon volume.

here the link of Kiss magazine web page with Nodame on the cover! With a very cute dress! ^^
From the cover the new arc is called "Nodame cantabile encore, opera hen" 😀
Yeah! hopefully we will see the big end everyone was waiting for in chap 136 !

It doesn't say explicitly that there will be one new volume, but this new Opera-hen will have its second chapter published in Kiss issue #1 (2010, issue #1) that goes on sale Dec 25th. ( http://www.ninomiya.jp/information/2009.html#Anchor-49575 )
It also says, Kiss issue #24 (the one that is on sale right now) comes with Nodame postcard calendar as a freebie.
(LOL I'm so working as their promoter.)

Gosh, THANK!
That ending was too WTH?!!
I didn't marked the series has complete 8D! I was sure something has to come out! ¬¬ that ending... wasn't an ending at all!

this is great news + the movies. Nodame fans let's embrace this heaven.

More Nodame Cantabile? Yay!
Though I'll be sad when it ends... Again.

Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

It'd be cool if there was more. I agree the ending was a bit =.= the way it was.
