Your Lie in April Part 1 Review Capsule Computers-23 Jul 2016 However, Your Lie in April is far from ordinary. ... A lot of thought has gone into the writing, and that effort results in an incredibly moving story. Musical prodigy Kousei Arima suddenly stopped playing the piano two years ago after the death of his mother. One day, he accepts an invitation from his best friend Tsubaki to accompany her when she introduces someone to their best friend Watari. Arriving earlier than necessary, he encounters a person playing a melodica. Unbeknownst to him, the person is none other than Kaori Miyazono, the one who has a romantic interest in Watari. Her first impressions of him are ruined due to a misunderstanding, but she nevertheless shows an interest in him once Tsubaki introduces Kousei to her. Kaori turns out to be a violinist, and she slowly but surely reintroduces Kousei to the world of music and helps him rediscover his love for music, as well as his own happiness along the way.
