Yeah, do you know which corresponds more closely to the manga? I wasn't sure if it's just a really wacky series or if Japanese television is just wacky in general.

I think the coldness suits his character better. I can't really say anything about the end of the series since I haven't seen past the first few episodes, but I'm hoping that the increased coldness of his demeanour will make the gradual change in his character more apparent as Nodame starts to wear off on him. It also is a great contrast to how upbeat Nodame and Mine are. And the expression on his face when he thinks about going on a plane....I nearly fell off my chair laughing!
