Clearing up some rumors

I admit, I also believed this when I heard about it.

My friend, the one who sends me the raws, said that there are rumors that Nodame Cantabile would probably end in chapter 135 or 136. I actually believed that for awhile. It's obvious that we are heading towards the end but after reading the latest chapter (134), seriously, how can that be??? Unless the next chapter would have so so so many pages.

And besides, it has been reported that the manga's end would coincide with the opening of the final live action next spring. Spring months in Japan are March, April and May. So, Nodame Cantabile will end next year. We have a few more chapters to enjoy. Yay!!!

Just so everything is clear. I was confused when I heard those rumors myself. I read the news before so when the rumors came out, I thought maybe Ninomiya-sensei changed her mind? And when I read chapter 133 when Chiaki decided to accept Nodame's proposal and everything felt so rushed, I thought umm, maybe she's really ending it so she's rushing a lot.

But Chapter 134 proved otherwise. So, I checked again and asked my friend to check too. And at the end, we decided to stick to what Asahi Shimbun reported. The manga's end will be next spring.

So sorry again to those people who asked me about it and that's what I said.

If anything comes up, or if there will be any changes again, I would certainly post it here.
