Synopsis

Kousei Arima is a piano prodigy who earned the nickname "Human Metronome" for his flawless, mechanical precision. Trained relentlessly by his strict mother, he won every competition he entered and became the envy of the music world. Everything changes when his mother dies—the shock is so severe that he loses the ability to hear piano sounds, and he stops performing completely. Years later, Kousei is just another junior high student trying to blend in, hanging out with friends Tsubaki and Ryouta while quietly struggling with his grief. Then he meets Kaori Miyazono, a bold and unconventional violinist who's got other plans for him. She drags him back into music as her accompanist, and through a lie that ties them together, she gradually brings color and life back into his gray world.
