I do love Ageha-she's so nosy, but when she messes something up she's really straightforward about apologizing and fixing it. She doesn't just wallow in self pity and let things get even worse. And she's so motivated towards her work! I want to be more like her :D I think the age gap between A and Y is the same as between Kazuha and Maki, as well. But the personalities of the characters themselves cause things to work out differently in each situation, I think. For the most part, Maki doesn't seem bothered by Kazuha's age; I'm also interested in seeing how Hidaka-sensei explores the issue in VBR

"What I wonder about is why Uru never seems to go to school!!" I think she does in later volumes, I see covers of her in uniforms :) I'm thinking the author tries to setup the story at the cafe first - and school is secondary. I don't the age difference is an issue, either. Ren was just uptight or he just wanted to have an excuse. In the long run, 4 or 7 years difference isn't that big a deal, you know.
Nodame Cantabile was completed last year in Japan. I'm thinking they have to renegotiate the license. I remember hearing ongoing series are only licensed by the number of volumes have been published in japan. So, they probably need to negotiate for NC vol 17 til end again. I don't think they are in trouble since Tsubasa seems to be on schedule and they have random house behind them. Or maybe they are planning to release them in omnibus - like Mushi-shi the last 3 will be out in one!
Yeah, maybe she will go to class eventually! It's what, 13 volumes? So the characters will have to do something with all that space. But somehow the series seems less based in reality to me (in my head I sometimes compare it to VBR: the basic setup is very similar, but carried out so differently in each series), so I wouldn't be surprised or even all that bothered if it never showed Uru in school. I agree that Ren and Kyoko have more issues than just the age (it probably is just an excuse...).
Oh, it could be they're planning an omnibus release... I noticed DelRey (as well as other companies) has been doing more of those lately. I need to read Mushi-shi (how many volumes will it be?). Aaagh, when will I get to all these titles??

*cackles with glee* I can't hate any of the characters either-Mamoru is so awesome I have only love for her, and while Nagare creeps me out (as he does Arisaka) he's kind of awesome in his own way. He's sneaky, but he's not outright evil. And usually his actions result in things actually happening between our adorably silly lead couple who would otherwise be content to sit around and leave things as they are. So I forgive him.
Re: V.B. Rose 3-5lyschanMarch 9 2010, 21:46:20 UTC
Hee. Mamoru does what she wants, and doesn't care what anyone else thinks. I love that. And hm, yeah, Nagare is kinda like Mitsuya-sama. And oh, Tsuyu!! I adore her! I want to be her!! Kya~! (well, it's more her cute cute fashion sense and style that I want. but she's awfully cute. and she's the sort who's way too much fun to tease, so I can't really blame Mitsuya-sama.)
WC-Hahahaha!!!! I'd forgotten about that. Hidaka-sensei's end/side notes make me laugh SO much. Did you get to the bagel incident yet?
Matsuzuki-sensei talks about meeting Hidaka-sensei?? Ahhh, I need to catch up with this series!! (I mean, for the story itself too... but I am a Hidaka-fangirl, so...)

Manga updates says 15.
"Oh, it could be they're planning an omnibus release"
Fingers crossed!
Mushi-shi has 7 single volumes and 8-10 will be the omnibus - maybe your library has it?

Isn't she? She even takes Ageha's side against her brother!
"but he's not outright evil."
Like Mitsuya-sama :P - Does he like Ichihashi? I think he does that's why he teases her too much :)
Also WC = Washington Club - heh!
