Chiaki Shinichi dreams of studying abroad and becoming a conductor like his mentor. However, his fear of flying grounds his plans! As he watches fellow classmates achieve the dream he has always wanted, he grows more bitter and thinks of dropping the dream altogether.
Then he meets Noda Megumi, or Nodame for short. This weird girl lives in a pigsty apartment because she cannot clean, and she always mooches off of people for meals because she cannot cook. But she can play the piano in such a freestyle fashion that renews Chiaki's passion for music. Can this arrogant bastard and hopeless case create something fresh and wonderful?
