Sayonara Piano Sonata (Manga)

there isn't much information about this manga right now, mostly because it was just recently that translations started. so far only 8 chapters are out and its hard to make a real critic about the manga just yet. but for the new readers to have a bit to go on. i will resume this: "read it"

Story: it begins with your pretty much standard track of thinks, boy meets girl, girl is a prodigy, boy works very hard to get the girl, and so goes on and on, yet even knowing all this, you are still pull into the plot. the main point in the story is music, or at least is what they try to make you think, but after a bit its become pretty obvious that the relationship between the characters is more important, after all there need to happen interesting things in the band because after all you can't hear the music in the manga ha.

Character: coming with such a popular theme the characters have to have some kind of thing that makes the story fairly interesting, i believe they actually pull the trick, the character feel well made and have solid personalities. the main characters in a way relate and complement, after all thats what a band is all about.

i personally like this point, simply because you can see how one affects the other and how they all need each other.

art: what can i say, is good not great... dot

enjoyment: this is where this manga shine on its own, when you put a fair story with good character you get a simple good manga, yet personally speaking this is fun to read, it has no complexity, or tries to make you thing of the deep meaning of life, it's simply made so you would enjoy reading it.

this is a manga that would probably never have and incredible urge to read, yet you would read it every time you found some new chapters, in that way this manga is pretty great

well this is all for now, i don't want to start making a super long review with the story just beginning lets wait a bit and see how thing turn out

P.S) well one thing you should know about me is that i really enjoy music mangas, ironically i don't know i shit about music, but still thats why i enjoy this manga so much, with any other plop i would probably never consider even reading it. read more

Sayonara Piano Sonata was a good manga to read simply because it shows how each one affects the other and how music became the center of all things.

Story-wise, it was good. The pacing and the interactions of the characters though some characters should have been given some importance such as the parents of the Mafuyu since they were introduced latter in the story[the mother that is]. It would have been better if the parents' problems were a bit exposed rather than a preview.

The art was... okay. It was not bad, but there were times where I felt the artist was too tired to draw especially the details of the fathers of the two protagonists. I, honestly, love how the artist draw the characters [mafuyu and nao] well 'xcept for the fathers...

As for character development, I think it was good. The characters resembles the youth now a days where they want to break-free and escape. A breaking-free/following your dreams type of manga.

hmm... all in all, it was a light-hearted manga, nothing heavy comes from it though sometimes you need to research on classical music they're playing so you could follow. If you want a manga to just pass time and not to think to much I guess this is a manga for you. Enjoy reading it til the end.^^ read more
