Oi, sorry for the late comment! Actually, all the lovely comments like yours inspired me to finish my watch/rewatch drama comm, dorama_watch. We're actually going to be (re)watching Nodame first, so you should come hang out with us!

They're all axagerrated, but they still feel real, with they problems life and dreams..
Agreed! I was seriously impressed by how the show could switch tones so easily and so effectively. I loved the slapsticky manga parts AND the incredibly moving music sequences. NODAMEEEE! Seriously, everyone should give this show a try. :)
