Nodame Cantabile: Finale OVA is an anime-original story written by the manga author, Ninomiya Tomoko, herself. Unlike regular Nodame Cantabile episodes and OVAs, this anime special does not have a title, and it never aired on television; however, it was bundled with the limited-edition copy of the 24th manga volume—the first volume of the sequel manga Nodame Cantabile Encore: Opera-Hen—as an original disc animation.
