Aristide Lang aka Alice can only play one song perfectly but he can't even read music scores and has no knowledge of the basics but somehow because of this song he played in his entrance examination he was accepted into Mondonveille School of Music which is a prestigue music school. First volume gives you some hints of Alice's family background (his father is some legendary violinist that died very young) and that his grandfather wanted Alice to join the music school to follow the footsteps of his father. Have to read more volumes to continue judging this manga. There are some hints of shounen-ai inthe first volume with Victor constantly hitting on Alice but after reading La Esperanca from the same author it'll be mild shounen-ai. I have high hopes for this manga being a fan of La Corda manga and La Esperanca I'll continue to support this manga. In terms of graphics and drawings similar to La Esperanca very beautiful characters. Volume 2 gets even more interesting... what's Vick's relationship with Max Alice is actually pretty talented it's just that he doesn't read scores. Georges from La Esperanca is also in this volume too.
Aristide enrolled into an elite music school following his grandfather's dying wish for him to study music and become a great musician like his father. Aristide isn't your typical student. He comes from the countryside and learned to play the violin from his grandfather and neighbor, a stark contrast to the formal, extensive training of his peers. He was enrolled as a special case, being the 101st student admitted into a class of only 100. This and his unrefined technique attract derision from some students and teachers. Aristide obviously has raw talent, but struggles with formal technique and written scores. However, he is determined to improve and remain at the school, chasing after the memory of his father's sound. (Source: shinkeikaku)
