2 things that got me interested in this one: Noto Mamiko and Production I.G.
I haven't check the manga yet but this setting screams of chick flick. Maybe less contrived than Winter Sonata. After all I do enjoy Nodame Cantabile. Apparently the manga won some awards and it will have a live action drama treatment soon.
Ah well, it looks interesting enough for me. I enjoyed [I]Nodame[/I] and [I]Honey & Clover[/I], so this might be in my interest too.
