Manga/Graphic Novels Starting With 'L'

At Seisou's annual school festival, hearts are pumping, blood is pounding... and Kahoko's love life is heating up. Ryotaro takes a break from the sports competition to make a private confession, Aoi asks Kahoko to play Juliet to his Romeo in the class play and even Len lets slip that he has human emotions. But before Kahoko can decide where her heart lies, she has another problem to tackle: the festival's big music recital!

As Len leaves Japan to study abroad, Kahoko struggles with the changes in her own life. Can she find a way to say farewell to Len before it's too late? Can she ace the upcoming music contest without Len's tutoring - or the help of her magic violin? And what will she do when both Ryotaro and Azuma decide it's time to make a move?

On the eve of her big music competition, Kahoko should be getting some much-needed sleep... but she can't stop thinking about Len. When Len reveals just how soon he's leaving to study abroad, suddenly Kahoko can't concentrate on music. Can she and Len admit how much they mean to each other before it's too late? And can Kahoko still turn in a performance worthy of her training?

While Len studies the violin in Europe, Kahoko swears to keep him in her heart... as her musical inspiration, that is. But could he be something more? Kahoko finds it harder and harder to deny her feelings, but the boys of Seisou Academy seem bent on making her forget about Len. At long last, it's time for her to make a choice - for music and for love.

Kahoko may have a magic violin that gives her some technical ability, but the violin's true magic is only unlocked when Kahoko "feels" the music. She's supposed to be getting to know her fellow competitors, but the first stage of the competition is coming soon, and she barely has time to pick her music, let alone make new friends. So why is she so drawn to her fellow Gen Ed student, Ryotaro...

The first round of the music competition is about to begin, and Kahoko's accompanist reveals her plot to get Kahoko disqualified! Unsettled by this betrayal, Kahoko can't truly enjoy the music, even when Ryotaro gallantly steps in as her new accompanist. Kahoko's performance is mediocre, but Ryotaro so impresses Lili that he soon finds himself added as a second-round contestant. Will Kahoko and Ryotaro's budding friendship be ruined by the heat of competition?

With the second round approaching, Kahoko is finally getting invested in the competition. But her newfound determination is tested when fellow contestant Azuma unleashes his dark side at her expense. Kahoko feels threatened by his shocking behavior, but Azuma's good boy image is so strong that no one would believe Kahoko if she told. Can Kahoko withstand the pain and pressure of the music school life?

The much-anticipated Second Selection has begun! With two students from outside the music school now in the competition, the entire campus is abuzz. And when Len's musician parents show up as special guests, Len feels special pressure to turn in a powerful performance. Will Len outdo himself... or succumb to backstage sabotage?

Is it fair to use magic to win? After a tense confrontation with Len, Kahoko makes a painful decision: she's got to withdraw from the competition. But can she turn her back on music, or has it become too much a part of her life? Even if Kahoko changes her mind, she may not be able to play again, as Lili warns her that the magic of the violin is wearing off for good...

Music can last forever - but magic can't. In the middle of the Third Selection, Kahoko's magical violin finally loses its power. Can Kahoko complete her performance on heart alone? Will she be able to pursue her newfound love of music any further? With such weighty matters on her mind, Kahoko is blindsided by a threat no enchantment could have predicted: Ryotaro's ex-girlfriend, who shows up determined to win back the hunky pianist's heart!

Personalities clash as the contestants rehearse for the Final Selection. Ryotaro is forced to choose between Kahoko and his ex-girlfriend Mizue. Len and Ryotaro cross swords over music - and Kahoko. Kazuki struggles with an increasingly painful crush. And Kahoko, now playing without magical assistance, feels she has more than ever to prove to the doubting Len. Can Kahoko and her friends channel their passion into music, or will it tear the group apart?
