IT was earlier this year that I was able to get myself addicted to a new manga series. From seeing it in LaLa, I became curious, and thus bought an already English-translated volume of Yuki Kure's Kiniro no Corda or, in Italian, La Corda d'Oro.
The series was horribly addicting; when i went to Singapore I bought off three more volumes and now I'm waiting for the release of the fifth volume. Somehow I could compare my addiction to La Corda to my addiction to Ouran Koukou -- but somehow LaCorda was even more intense. While both Haruhi and Kahoko (I love her name by the way) both seem to have no inkling of romantic love for any of the guys surrounding them (with Haruhi being worse off since she apparently doesn't care), it is pretty exciting to note that almost everyone is chasing after their attention.
In La Corda, the guys' competition for her seem to be pure. I don't know if the guys even know that they all like her (I think, somehow, Tsuchiura, Hihara and Tsukimori know that they all like her at some extent, even at the most subtle of cases.), but it seems that they all just love her. as in LOVE her. Tsuchiura, Hihara and Tsukimori at the most; Azuma's side is pretty exciting ('teasing' her and all that), with Shimizu being so cute.
I just finished watching the anime and the 'concert' that they put up for Kaho-chan at the end is really touching, yet when they all call her by her name...it's so 'aaaah kyaaa so cute!!!'. Shimizu's innocent Kaho-senpai, and Azuma + Len's deep 'Kahoko', Tsuchiura called her 'Kaho' only (that seems to be the most intimate), and kawaii Hihara-kun's 'Kaho-chan'. I think by this concert they already somehow proclaimed their love for her. Ahahaha.
Will there be a season 2? I'd like to see that Koji Aoi person. :D
The only problem I have with La Corda, aside from my inability to choose to whom Kahoko should go to (I'm picking between Tsuchiura, Hihara, Tsukimori and Azuma), is the hair color. Since I first off read the manga, I imagined the characters having normally-colored hair -- Tsuchiura's hair black, Hihara's brown, Len's blonde, Azuma black, Fuyuumi blonde, Shimizu blonde, and so on. But when I saw the anime I was dumbstruck -- green and blue and purple! : O Whenever I looked at Tsuchiura I could not help but think of a hentai character =.= Kahoko's red is cute, though. It's just...man, Tsukimori an electric blue; Hihara's hair the color of grass...
I also like Kahoko's new accompanist. :D Mori-san is quite pretty.
