Re-Read - Your Lie in April, Volume 11

I finished Your Lie in April again. These two sets of pages get me every time.

They're beautiful.

They show how connected Kōsei and Kaori are.

And how Kōsei just knows that not only does he love her, but that she's gone while he's playing.

It's such a hauntingly beautiful set of pages that just hits you so hard.

Ugh.

Glad I re-read this again.

Well, see you next year - Your Lie in April.

And after that, let's end with levity.

Cause Kōsei getting so excited and hyped to talk about his favorite egg salad sandwich reminds me of myself and other nerds as we get hyped about our own fandom.

I love this scene so much.

This is the next panel. It's a lot. It's emotional. And it hits like a gut punch with such a simple set of two panels as Kōsei sees Kaori being rushed into the emergency room.

These two panels say so much.

Re-Read - Your Lie in April, Volume 10

As I get closer to the end of my re-read of Your Lie in April, I'm still posting up the scenes that stuck with me. Two are serious, one is not.

Let's begin with the more serious ones.

Here's one with Tsubaki and Kōsei, a flashback to them as children. The emotions of the two of them, remembering their past, and Tsubaki recognizing her feelings for Kōsei hit in these moments as she realizes he may not be there forever, so she has to act and make her feelings known.

Liar.

----

I once again tried to recreate a scene from the Your Lie in April manga. This time, I decided to redo a scene where Kōsei and Tsubaki are sitting in the music room, with Tsubaki breaking down recognizing that music is going to take him away from her again...

It's a lovely scene.

Starring:
Raymond as Kōsei Arima
Ankha as Tsubaki Sawabe

I think every single time I read this particular page it gets me.

Kōsei asks for help and without skipping a beat, without questioning it, without even asking what he needs - Watari says yes.

This is true friendship.

This is such a great page.

We should all hope for a friend like Watari.

Re-Read - Your Lie in April, Volume 9

As I re-read this volume and I'm going to share standouts.

This page shows Nagi. She's a teenager trying to improve on the piano. She's pushing herself largely because her brother ignores her (it's odd to me, but it's never presented as creepy). But the chattering about her, it hurts.

This panel showing the largely faceless rabble that see her as a cute girl, not as a serious pianist. Their words hurt as they kind of disregard her talent.

This page shows that very well.

Re-Read - Your Lie in April, Volume 8

Once again, as I re-read this volume one image stood out to me.

For context, Kōsei is describing the girl he's fallen for. How incredible she is and how she inspired him. That's juxtaposed over how Kaori is in that very moment.

She is scared.

She is ill.

She is dying and she has no control over it.

He refers to her as strong at the moment we see her weeping.

It's such a well done section of the volume and really smacks you in the face emotionally.

Re-Read - Your Lie in April, Volume 7

I am going to share one page from this volume.

This one.

In this panel, Tsubaki finally understands her own feelings. It all hits her, head on.

She realizes that she's in love with Kōsei. And has been. And that's why she's not able to fully commit to her boyfriend. That's why she has such extreme emotions about him playing the piano. That's why she feels so protective over him.

She loves him.

And she can't control how she feels anymore.

Such a moment.

This is the final panel of Volume 6.

In it, Kosei is playing the piano and Hiroko is thinking. She is the reason Kosei started on the piano and she feels personally responsible for some of the pain and abuse he received from his mother. She feels responsible for the pain he feels now, and that he can't hear the music.

She knows Kosei still loves his late mother and the piano. Watching him play and throw all his emotions out there in his music hits a nerve both with Hiroko, and with me as a teared up reading these pages.
