This book contains short stories based on the manga series, Your Lie in April, providing more backstory and details about events that happened during the series.

There is a prologue written from Kaori's point of view about how the group of four friends shared an ice cream treat together after rehearsal.
The first two stories are from Takeshi's and Emi's perspective, about how they first heard Kosei play piano and how it inspired them to practice more.
One story is from Tsubaki's perspective, about the time that they found the lost kitten, Chelsea.
And the last story is from Watari's point of view, about one time that he went on a date with Kaori.


I was disappointed that the stories don't add anything new to the main story. There are just some details added that enhance the original series, but nothing really new.
The writing style drags on very slowly, making it a little boring compared to the original series. I was also disappointed that I couldn't tell much of a difference between the voices of the different characters. They all sounded a little bit the same, and the writing style felt awkward sometimes.

I love the Your Lie in April manga so much that I guess I had my hopes too high for this short story collection.
