Animanga Talks: Your Lie in April( Quick Intro)
“Piano prodigy Kousei Arima dominated the competition and has become famous among child musicians. After his mother, who was also his instructor, died, he had a mental breakdown while performing at a piano recital at the age of eleven. As a result, he is no longer able to hear the sound of his piano even though his hearing is perfectly fine. Two years later, Kousei hasn’t touched the piano and views the world in monochrome, without any flair or color. He has resigned himself to living out his life with his good friends, Tsubaki and Watari, until, one day, a girl changes everything. Kaori Miyazono, a fourteen-year old audacious, free-spirited violinist whose playing style reflects her manic personality, helps Kousei return to the music world and shows that it should be free and mold breaking unlike the structured and rigid style Kousei was used to.”

I have not yet watched the anime for Your Lie In April. I have not continued the manga, however I will encourage others to read it and or watch anime. Its is not an action Shonen, but it is a good drama (to my knowledge and what has been recommended to me) about love and the music quest of an artist. Sometimes its good to move away from the same type of animanga.
