RONDO CAPRICCIOSO
After the death of his mother, child prodigy Arima Kosei gave up the piano forever — or so he thought. That vow turned out to be no match for the persistence of sprightly violinist Kaori Miyazono, who’s roped Arima back into the world of competitive classical music. But after so many years, will Arima be able to sit down at the ivories again like nothing happened? Or will history repeat itself, with Arima crumbling under the pressure?

Mar 30, 2022The storytelling is a little frenetic in this volume - the two leads get to the competition on a bike and it appears to fall over or Kōsei somehow falls off it, and it shows him bleeding from the head, but as soon as they go in the hall, he’s fine. Kaori's fainting is told in a flashback well after we find her in the hospital. This storytelling works really well for Kōsei's playing during the competition, but the rest of the storytelling suffers a little bit from the missing details in a non-linear approach. Overall, this is still a fine volume and a beautiful story, so I (and probably many readers) can look passed my preference to have things a little more spelled out. Read Full Review
