Your Lie in April ( Japanese: 四月は君の嘘, Hepburn: Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso) is a Japanese romantic drama manga series written and illustrated by Naoshi Arakawa. It has been adapted into an anime television series and multiple stage productions.
A live-action film adaptation of the same name was released in September 2016.
Each has a unique and well-developed backstory, particularly that of our primary protagonist, Kousei, who sifts through day to day life as a defunct prodigy. The viewer soon explores the good reasons for his solemnity, which involves a convoluted tale of tragedy, abuse, grief, depression, and inadequacy.
Kousei Arima was a genius pianist until his mother's sudden death took away his ability to play. Each day was dull for Kousei. But, then he meets a violinist named Kaori Miyazono who has an eccentric playing style. His monotonus life was about to change forever.
Further down the rabbit hole are more abstract themes of Kousei’s rise to manhood, driven twofold by his existential void and his longing toward the feminine ideal. The Kaori that Kousei sees and the Kaori that exists as a person are two fundamentally different characters in the show.
There's random piano girl and random piano guy who both want to impress Kousei because apparently he was good at piano as a kid, as we find out through about one hundred flashbacks to the same piano competition. Despite their tropiness, the characters actually start to grow on you during the series.
Along with Kousei’s two close childhood friends, the story unfolds as a particularly touching coming-of-age tale of romance and dreams, and the premise is established quite early that the story will unfold Kousei’s growth from troubled child to master pianist.
Overall: Though it has some quirks and oddities, Your Lie in April is a powerful drama with a sprinkle of romance in the mix that, while important, does not play a particularly central role for a majority of the show.
The classical music was certainly not written for this particular show, and yet it carries a powerful and emotive weight as if it was. The musicians composing for Your Lie in April nailed the intended feel of the drama perfectly.
