“Your Lie in April” follows the story of music child prodigy Kosei Arima, who had a mental breakdown while performing at a piano recital after his mother died. As a result, he is no longer able to hear the sound of his own piano playing. Two years later, Kosei still hasn’t touched the piano and resigns himself to a monotonous existence, when meets fourteen-year-old violinist Kaori Miyazono — whose manic personality helps Kosei return to the music world.
