[Your Lie in April] A Hero Called Samurai

At the age of four, Aizuwatari Takeshi and Himekawa Rina first met at a relative's birthday party. It wasn't exactly a wonderful first meeting. That year, they both started taking piano lessons at the same studio.

At the age of five, they happened to become neighbors who saw each other all the time, much to neither of their delight. After meeting a piano prodigy, Arima Kousei started competing against him on his own initiative.

At the age of six, they were probably already good friends. At least on the surface, the kids who played with them split into two groups, each centered around one of them.

At the age of seven, they had the same talent for piano but different reasons for studying it, and they kept competing with each other in contests. A rhinoceros beetle entered their lives.

Eight, nine, ten... Super Alloy robots and Western dolls: all sorts of fun things always happened when the two of them were together.

[P.S. Childhood friends.

P.P.S. Updates are irregular.

P.P.P.S. I rewatched Your Lie in April and cried my eyes out. There wasn't much fanfiction, so I decided to write some myself.

P.P.P.P.S. Some plot elements are borrowed.]
