Praise for the hit anime

“A happy melody… about the power of music to inspire, to energize, to bring sunshine back into a life that’s lost it.” - Anime News Network
Gonna cry real bad
"Your Lie in April is one of the most heartbreaking manga I've read, it's so sad for every character. The anime is pretty good and a faithful adaption of this manga. The only gripe I have with the manga is that as a series that revolves around music, the scenes with performances, be they violin or piano, are somewhat lackluster. Maybe look up the corresponding pieces of music somewhere and play them to get some extra oomph out of reading the manga."
