This panel hits me for some reason.

Kosei has been playing the piano more. He's been more active. He's been wallowing in his own sorrow less and Kaori thinks he looks taller.

Why? He's looking up.

It's metaphorical to a certain degree, but Kosei had been stuck in a rut of sorrow. This moment, while minor, hit something with me.

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.

@cthellis You know what...I forget now  

I think Kosei, tho.

@mdmrn K Manga has Kōsei, at least in chapter 1 that I can see. Which is cool.

You’re reading the print? I guess I would be surprised if there was a difference, but it’s not impossible.
