About Your Lie in April

Your Lie in April (Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso) blends school, shounen and romance by A-1 Pictures (2014). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: Music accompanies the path of the human metronome, the prodigious pianist Kousei Arima. But after the passing of his mother, Saki Arima, Kousei falls into a downward spiral, rendering him unable to hear the sound of his own piano.

As things develop, two years later, Kousei still avoids the piano, leaving behind his admirers and rivals, and lives a colorless life alongside his allies Tsubaki Sawabe and Ryouta Watari. However, everything changes when he crosses paths with a beautiful violinist, Kaori Miyazono, who stirs up his realm and sets him on a quest to face music again. Based on the manga series of the same name, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso approaches the story of Kousei's recovery as he learns that music is more than playing each note perfectly.
