They are quite stereotypical – Arima is the relatable insecure high schooler, Watari is his cool womanizer friend, Kaori is overly bubbly and attractive, and Tsubaki is an awkward jock. The majority of the show’s drama takes place in the characters’ thoughts and consciences, as they use poetic metaphors to describe their feelings and process what happens around them. In our case, Arima is in love with Kaori who claims to be in love with Arima’s best friend, Watari, but is actually in love with Arima, as is his childhood friend Tsubaki. This creates a love triangle that entangles most of the show’s characters. At the same time, they fail to perceive that someone very close to them, like a childhood friend, is in love with them. The structure of the story is rather typical for romance-themed anime: the protagonist or main characters are infatuated with someone, but their love remains unfulfilled, probably because their loved one has feelings for someone else. What he doesn’t know is that Kaori has a terrible secret, one that will unexpectedly change his whole life. Arima resists all of Kaori’s efforts, but her persistence and strength of character manages to break through to him. Kaori takes a great interest in Arima and his relationship to music and dedicates herself to restoring it to its former glory.
His life is about to change when he meets and falls in love with Kaori Miyazono, a young revolutionary violinist, who is unfortunately in love with his friend Watari. He hasn’t played the piano in over two years and every time he tries to do so he cannot hear himself playing. Synopsisįourteen-year-old Arima Kousei, the piano prodigy of his generation, is suffering from post-traumatic disorder after inseparably connecting his piano performances with the abuse he suffered from his dying mother. Your Lie in April will not provide you with the explicit sexiness that Scum’s Wish offers, but it will give you the perfect love story, and it will make you cry your eyes out. I can now say that my romance-anime thirst has been quenched. Reading through the 10 Anime Like Love and Lies article, I watched Scum’s Wish, which I had postponed for the longest time, and Your Lie in April, which my sister had repeatedly suggested. Not only were my expectations for this show completely ruined, but it also left me craving for more romance anime. After watching and reviewing Love and Lies in Summer 2017, I felt incomplete.
