Onto the summary.
Lesson 134
Nodame was still around with the children, acting like a teacher and playing with them. The children requested her to play different compositions and she gladly did it for them. The children all think that Nodame is really good and awesome.
On the way out of the room, she met Yunlong who asked her what she is doing. He said that she had the chance that everyone wanted and after all the work she had done, she shouldn't be doing this. However, Nodame is still ignoring Yunlong. Frank and Tanya heard the conversation and they looked worried.
Nodame went to Yadovi's room. Looks like the two now are really good friends. They talked about Nodame's songs. Yadovi had made some arrangement to Nodame's song and she played it. Nodame liked it and she said that it was amazing to hear someone arranged the song she composed. She also told Yadovi how she always get yelled at for rearranging classical compositions back in the music school.
Yadovi said that back in the 18th century, the composers were also the performers and she thinks that Nodame may be fitted for something like that. Also, in the 19th century where nobody cares even if you added something/made changes to the song you're playing.
Every classical compositions now have recordings and there is the supposed right way to play every song. This made them feel restrained and afterwards, people will have to critique on how you play the composition. Nodame said that when you perform your own song, you can do it anyway you like.
Nodame showed Yadovi another one of her compositions. This one is about Nattou. She said she wanted to play this on a children show. Yadovi said that she wanted something like that too.
They started playing Yadovi's song while the children sang the lyrics to it. Chiaki came back from Brazil and he was outside listening to Nodame playing. He thinks that Nodame is better this way. If this is the path that she has chosen, then he can accept it. Since as long as he is with her, he can hear her play and listen to her every time he wants.
Inside the room, Yadovi made Nodame stopped because Nodame made some mistakes. Nodame said that she's rearranging it a little. She and Yadovi started to squabble a bit. The children started to wonder if Nodame is really good. They said she's disappointing.
Nodame contradicted what they said and told them that she can do it if she wants too. She looked serious and started to play Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 31. Everyone is transfixed. Even Chiaki. With tears in his eyes, Chiaki thought that even though he thinks that way, every time he hears Nodame play like this, he always wanted to see her perform on stage.
He opened the door to the room.
"NODAME, DO A CONCERTO WITH ME."

Thoughts:
A freakin' cliffhanger right?
When chapter 133 ended, we all know that Chiaki has decided to accept Nodame's proposal. By the looks of his first thoughts, that is exactly what he has intended to do. He decided to accept the path that Nodame has chosen. When I was reading the raws, I was anxiously waiting for that moment.
However, surprisingly, when Chiaki heard Nodame played the Beethoven Sonata, he realized that he just can't let it go. (He had tears in his eyes after hearing her play dammit!) He wanted to see Nodame perform amazingly on stage. So, instead of a proposal, he asked her to do a concerto with him.
We all know that aside from being Chiaki's bride, this concerto has always been Nodame's dream. She wanted to play the piano while he would be the one conducting.
I wonder what Nodame's first reaction going to be, aside from the shock look on her face when she heard Chiaki's voice. They haven't seen each other for so long.
But, the big question is, will she accept it as easily as that? Or would she refuse?
Is it safe to say with this new development that being a Kindergarten teacher is a no-no for now?
Oh, well, let's all find that out in Chapter 135 to be released on September 25. Another month-long wait.
Hey! Leave your comments!!! Share your thoughts and let's discuss!

AAAAAAHHH! What a cliffhanger! Any doubts I may have held have been wiped away by the ending of this chapter.
This is really amazing, and something that has been discussed since the beginning. Regarding Nodame and whether she will accept his proposal, well, I think she might refuse it and there will an angst fest during which Nodame is completely serious. However I do beleive a happy ending is awaiting those two. :) Everything really is coming to a climax, one that the manga is (I believe) very close to. That one month wait... T-T
Once again, thank you very much for your concise and well-written summaries. They're very convenient. :)
I'm writing so slow but thanks for always coming in here to read it.
My friend, the one who sends me the raws, said that there are rumors that NC would probably end in chapter 135 or 136. After reading this chapter, seriously, how can that be??? Unless that chapter would have 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.
Just so everything is clear. I was confused when I heard those rumors myself. But sensei can always change her mind.
Another transition chapter, I'm anxious. I think that Nodame will say yes, but after yadovi and children persuade her.
I'm sure that the song of the performance will be "Pathetique" of Beethoven, jeje, This is the song of Nodame-Chiaki meeting.
I hope the next chapter will be more concise, and long (24 pages isn't enough).
Thank you for you review.
Chapter 135 RAW
