Fujimi Block No. 2 Symphony Orchestra (富士見二丁目交響楽団), written by Akizuki Koh (秋月こお), is a Japanese yaoi novel series featuring an amateur orchestra, its concertmaster and its conductor. Tonoin Kei, a musical genius who has studied extensively in the area of conducting, falls in love at first sight (or sound, as it were) with a music teacher, Morimura Yuuki. Morimura also happens to act as the concertmaster for a small amateur orchestra that meets three times a week at the Fujimi Civic Center. Morimura is in love with Kawashima Natsuko, a female flutist in the orchestra, but Kawashima falls for Tonoin when he joins to act as the group's new conductor in order to get closer to Morimura.

The novels are put out by Kodokawa Ruby Bunko (角川ルビー文庫), a publishing company which specializes in Boy's Love titles. The first 16 novels and 3 additional character books were illustrated by Nishi Keiko (西炯子), while all those that have been released since have been illustrated by Sey Goto (後藤星). The first and fourth stories in the series were made into a manga which was illustrated by Sey Goto.

The series is still running as of 2006. The next novel release date is June 30th, 2006.

While the first 7 Drama CDs (audio dramas) follow stories from the novels very closely, those that follow take various approaches to the stories. The Dramas range from serious stories in which Kei and Yuki suffer hardships, to light hearted adventures about trips to amusement parks and characters reviewing the stories in various ways. Radio drama, which had its greatest popularity in the U. S. and in most other countries before the widespread access to television programming, depends on dialogue, music and sound effects to help the listener imagine the story in her or his minds eye--in this sense, it resembles reading...
