Glimpses of Kosei's past are in the forefront of this volume, as he takes the stage and begins performing (after outstanding performances by rivals Takeshi and Emi). Kosei's relationship with his mother was worse and more tragic than we'd seen before, and Kosei's reasons for losing the music and not performing any more are now very understandable.

Was Kaori right to push Kosei back to the piano, and into competitions? Will Kosei find himself in his music and become more than just mirroring what's on the printed score? What is the truth about Kaori's health problems?

Many questions—including whether Kosei will even make it through this performance!

El tomo me pareció aburrido en su mayor parte, el capítulo que más resalto es el último y quizá la última mitad del 15.

Cuando Kosei habla o recuerda a su madre me da tanta pena, eso es lo que más me gusta del manga, que se trasmitan las emociones fácilmente.

YLiA is above rating. Rating can't justify YLiA, and my feelings.

I think this is the best volume from 1-4. Maybe it’s the best of the four, or maybe it’s me settling in to the story but this felt like the story and art really hitting its stride and working in total harmony. 

I can’t wait to begin vol 5, but be aware this volume ends with child abuse on and off page.
