Your Lie in April 3 belongs to the standard singles and is already included in Omnibus 1. Kosei faces the prospect of entering a piano competition alone after his troubled performance with Kaori. If you own the first omnibus, buying this book repeats material you already have. If you own the first two singles, it continues that sequence without requiring a switch of edition or the purchase of the opening volumes again.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
The preceding performance failed as a polished recital but reminded Kosei that an audience could be a reason to play. That is a more interesting foundation for another attempt than a clean comeback. His technical disruption and his renewed desire can coexist, so progress does not require the story to pretend the performance went well. The solo competition also removes the obvious reassurance of appearing as Kaori's accompanist. Kodansha's synopsis presents his fear of his mother's influence as unresolved. This volume's premise asks whether wanting to perform survives the loss of that immediate partnership; the result is not promised by the invitation.
