At the prestigious Towa Hall, three piano prodigies take part in a competition, beginning with the exceptionally talented Kousei Arima.

Now a junior high student, he leads a mundane existence with friends Tsubaki Sawabe and Ryouta Watari, grappling with his loss while still holding onto his passion for music. His colorless world shifts when he meets the unconventional violinist Kaori Miyazono, who insists on drawing him back into the spotlight as her accompanist.
