Your Lie in April

Kousei's life has been dull and grey. His friends Tsubaki and Watari try their best to cheer him up but there's not more colour in his life; His eyes don't sparkle. However, there's this new girl who might just be able to change all that.

Kousei, Tsubaki and Watari sit down to watch Kaori's performance which ends up being completely unlike anything else they've seen. Kaori just seems to have a way with music completely different to how Kousei was taught.

Kousei and Kaori spend some time together and get to talking about Kousei's past. Will he ever be able to play a piano again? What happens if he can never overcome his fear, will colour ever return to his life?

Kousei and Kaori arrive just in time for the competition, however without a chance to practice the piece how will Kousei be able to perform? And how can he survive on stage with the memories of his mother still haunting him?

Kaori is recovering from her accident after the performance, and Kousei, Watari, and Tsubaki are starting to realise the new feelings that are brewing in their group.

Kaori pushes Kousei to his limits in hopes of reviving his musical skills. Meanwhile, Tsubaki attempts to find out which direction her feelings are taking her.
