Kahoko Hino is a gen ed student with no musical talent at the Seiso Academy. To her surprise, after meeting a fairy no one else can see, she is added to the contestants for the prestigious Seiso music competition and given a magical violin that provides the talent if she provides the emotion.

Ahem. I understand what the message is with this manga-that emotions and the connection to music the musician has is what makes the talent come to life. However, as a musician, the fact that the talent is provided rubs me the wrong way. In my opinion, talent is just as rare as building the connection/emotion with the music so to have it just poof! be there? Grrr. The characters are engaging and the story line and drawing easy to follow.
