## Synopsis

As a child, Kosei Arima was a machine at the piano, a competition-winning prodigy trained relentlessly by his mother. When she died, something in him broke, and he found he could no longer hear the notes he played, an affliction that pushed music entirely out of his life. Years later he drifts through his days in muted color, content enough alongside his childhood friends, until a brilliant, impulsive violinist named Kaori bursts into his world. She plays by feel rather than by rules, and she's determined to pull Kosei back to the instrument he abandoned, whatever it takes.
