Do we love what do or do we just do it because these activities are the only things we know in life? Do we do it for others or for ourselves? Why is that when competition gets mixed in with these activities, we stop having fun and it becomes stressful and frustrating? These questions are asked by Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso.

The story of this manga seems like a familiar one. A young high school boy with exceptional talent stops enjoying the piano. I really don't wanna say anything more than that because I feel like it would spoil a good story. I wouldn't say that the story is cliche, but it is a familiar one. If it is a cliche story, I would be glad to say that it owns up to it.

The art is very good! I want to say that it has a style similar to a lot of shoujo manga despite actually being a shounen.

Unlike the story, I can't defend the character's personalities when it comes to being cliche. There's the childhood friend, the playboy best friend, and the girl that changes the protagonist's life.

Overall, I enjoyed this manga so much. It's easily a 9/10 in my book. I noticed that the current rating is less than an 8, which is probably because the manga is seldom updated so don't get fooled by it! There's an anime coming out for this manga so if you don't wanna get spoiled, just wait for the anime!
