Baby Yeomin is time to do what you do best when the loan sharks were after you: running away. Hehehehehehe... ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ I'm actually looking forward to the runway arc for once. I NEED daddy Taeseo to loose his mind from not being able to locate the runway Yeomin! >:3c
After reading the peak ''the concours'' that it was (chefskiss), I stumbled on this manwha. While I enjoy this, I just wish it wasn't about being Paganini reincarnation. I felt like it was a shortcut set up by the writer to omit the struggle of learning and mastering violin's technique. Also it kinda somewhat felt like a shounen power fantasy-ish with the set up. In fully fantasy setting I don't mind it. But when it set in modern world, I want something a little less power fantasy. Thankfully HSMGPR is not the worst offender of this.
I just prefer if this was about the story of boy reconciling his complicated feelings, and love for the violin. (somewhat similar to ao no orchestra) After the mc made peace that he does indeed love violin and kinda regret stopping playing violin for awhile. He wants to better his technique. Seeking a teacher (the italy trip arc would have been a great set up for this). The struggle of learning the violin again, meeting various people about their relationship with violin and classical music and how it impacts the mc (which they do touch on in the story but i felt like we went too fast with this), the costs that comes with it(with the other student yes, but for mc to be secretly connected to a chaebol family was such a cop out) and so much more.
Don't get me wrong I still enjoy this for what it is. In fact I had a great time and did binged this in a couple of days. But seeing the potential this could have been about. I know it seems really nit-picky with the points I made above but really. It's almost there but not quite. If this was a more grounded story (doesn't have to be 100% accurate in reality), it could really have elevated this from good&fun story to great&amazing story.
OMG “THE CONCOURS” AHHH YES ITS SO PEAK HELLO AUGH MY BODYS REMEMBERING HOW EXCITED I WAS UWHFKWHBDNQAHAHAHDHSJJDHJSIGMWKSK CHEFS KISS KISS KISS X100 FRL
LOL YES I LOVE THAT ONE !!! Do we have a reco perhaps
i'm super picky with my non romance manwhas-mangas but there's a couple that come to mind:
obviously ''The Concours'' (chefskiss <3)
''Ao No Orchestra'' < Unforuntately the fan translations for this has been dropped at chapter 66 T^T. There is 2 seasons anime for this. The 3d animation is awful but, if you can look past it. It's a pretty good story as well. Bonus for anime: you do hear the music they're playing!
''Piano no Mori'' < I prefer the anime version of this. but pretty good as well
''Your Lie In April'' < The anime that introduced me to the world of classical music ani-manga genres
''Nodame no Cantible'' < I couldn't finish the 1st episode. I hated the female mc so much. Josei manga turned anime.
''La Corda D'Oro'' < Shoujo manga turned anime series, sequal exist for this as well. I couldn't finish 1st episode as well. It was boring imo.
These are all that I've watched or read. I'm sure there's more.
