Your Lie in April 9 is the last single collected in Omnibus 3, so check your edition before buying. Kosei is worried about the hospitalized Kaori, while Nagi is concerned about Takeshi's slump. The book continues the relationships around their music rather than introducing a separate cast. Readers with Omnibus 3 already own this material; readers collecting singles can stay with the numbered sequence without repeating the two preceding books.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
The festival duet gives Kosei and Nagi a shared activity without making their concerns identical. He is thinking about Kaori; she is thinking about her brother. Kodansha's synopsis establishes the teacher and student performing together at a school festival, which makes the pairing useful to read as cooperation across different private motives. Neither person has to adopt the other's worry before they can make music together. That is a narrower and more convincing claim than treating performance as a universal cure. The duet can be a response to worry without controlling the circumstances that produced it.
