Piano no Mori

Meh. As if a French model would give two pence if her bra showed for a minute or two. Those ladies spend a lot of time clad in far less and the French are notoriously easy going with all things sexy. Nor would a European audience be particularly shocked or fascinated by the slight appearance of a bra during a performance, how she handled the mishap would be on their minds not the fact that "her bra is still clearly visible."

 

I understand that they're trying to give her intro some impact and earn her some sympathy but meh on the whole dilemma except in the heads of the few Japanese watching,, for everyone else (except the tabloid reporter, that bit was spot on) it should have been a non issue.

Um, no.  Anyone would be affected by something like that, but she was able to continue despite the humiliation of wardrobe malfunction on top of the pressure of the competition. 

This is also a very prestigious competition.  The fact that it even happened, especially for the very first performance is a shock in itself for anyone, including the audience.

And it's not like models don't have any pride.  

So we've found the copy cat character, huh

somehow i sense a onesided rivalry triangle thing going on: Wei Pang is chasing after Shuhei, Shuhei is after Kai and Kai...

Shouldn't it be "Sophie" instead of "Sopie"?

1 night, just 4 hours and I read 112 chapters

Ouch, she really shouldn't have worn that dress, huh...

Bet you anything he's plotting to fix Ajino Senei's hands.

I bet it's all for sensei.

Is it me, or are these chapters mighty short?

Oh nooo!! Kai!!! ><

Amamiya's new hairstyle looks better than the last.

@EterGrobie - Normally, I'd agree with you, but here's the caveat: Shuuhei never openly proclaimed Kai as such and established that kind of relationship with him to the point where this is made clear to Kai. A true rivalry can not exist without the acklowledgement of its existance from both concerned parties. Without that, you just have a tangled mess of a relationship. In the perspective of Kai, who has yet to discover Shuuhei's one-sided rivalry, his best friend is giving him the cold shoulder for no apparent reason.

Or if he did announce it to Kai (the long delays this series had while under KEFI's care made me forget specific details), Shuuhei had never turned it from a friendly rivalry to an unfriendly one.

amamiya went full douche with kai

Shuuhei is so emo.

Of course he's snubbing Kai, they're RIVALS! Sheesh.

Shuuhei! Just who the hells does he thing he is snubbing Kai!?!

Ooh...and those negative parts of his character development are starting to show up in his personality.

I'm guessing this is kind of a serious take on what would happen if a person holds a one-sided rivalry on a friend for so long.

Yes, it would appear he is becoming such.

hah! Shuuhei getting arrogant...

But well worth it I'm sure I haven't gotten tire of this series yet and I don't see it happening anytime soon

Kai is going to make it big

Whoa! Amazon JP shows volume 21 of this series for sale. It seems we have quite a long story remaining...

it's going down between childhood friends !!!

I've red through this 98 chapters in one seating, without sleeping, that's just how good this is!
