Shinichi Chiaki is a top-notch musician who aspires to play among the elites in Europe. He comes from a wealthy family and is known for his perfectionism. Not only is he hard on himself, but he is also harsh on others. The only thing that has kept him from flying to Europe is his fear of flying, which has grounded him in Japan. In his fourth year at the prestigious Momogaoka College of Music, he meets Noda Megumi (also known as Nodame). On the surface, she appears to be a carefree and unmotivated girl, but when Chiaki hears her play the piano for the first time, he is astonished by her talent.
