   In a restraunt, she was studying a textbook of the French   
   conversation and said above dialog that means "I became   
   a victim of (sexual) violence" in front of a waiter.   
      
   I laughed and wondered how far Ninomiya-san, the author,   
   would go when I found a tiny scribble on a page of "Contrepoint"   
   that says "Attention! C'est un livre trop complique pour comprendre"   
   [Attention! This book is too complicated to comprehend. ]   
   Although I'm not fluent in French, reading this easy French in   
   a manga book is fun to me.

   I see. But in the manga, the yaoi elements are so light as they   
   made me laugh even though I dislike yaoi flavor in general.

   And, it is natural for Chiaki to get kicked and bitten by   
   Noda as a kind of penalty of the violence. ^_^;   
      
   By the way, in vol.13, Chiaki got a troublesome orchestra   
   in which is a very stubborn and arrogant concert master who   
   is almost sabotaging to play. I'm looking forward to how   
   cleverly Chiaki resolve the conflict and how well he can   
   conduct the crappy orchestra. And, of course, how good   
   Nodame will play a celesta in a orchestra.

   I'm too shy to buy a girl's mag like Kiss (what a stupid title!).
