12 Nodame Cantabile

Nodame Cantabile

It's only a great romance if you watch all 3 seasons.

I will admit, i only watched this for the romance and at times i wanted to just stop, but i had to stick around to see how it'd turn out. The main theme here is music, so it was tough to watch for me at times.

I'd recommend if you're into classical music.. really into it.
