Your Lie in April (known in Japanese as Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso note Due to the use of "wa" as a topic particle, it could also be loosely translated as "April is when you lied to me". That is, until Tsubaki introduces him to Kaori Miyazono, a mysterious and beautiful classmate who plays the violin in a way he's never heard before, and that introduces colors into his world again. Kousei, now in middle school, spends his days living in a monochrome world, having spent two years without playing piano but managing to live every day thanks to his friends, his cheerful neighbor Tsubaki and his best friend Watari. However, after his mother Saki's death, his breakdown at a concert made him stop playing.

Winning many competitions and earning himself a name in the classical music world, he seemed to have a future that was bright, colorful and full of possibilities.

Kousei Arima used to be a Child Prodigy at piano.
