Plot:
Kai Ichinose is a kid from the wrong side of the tracks who likes to play a seemingly broken piano he found in the woods near his home; Shuuhei Amamiya is the classically trained son of a famous pianist. The two strike up a friendship where Shuuhei encourages Kai to develop his raw talent after they discover that their school music teacher, Sousuke Ajino, was the previous owner of the piano. However, Kai’s developing talent brings him into rivalry with Shuuhei; as they head towards a music competition, will Shuuhei’s jealousy affect his technical prowess and will Kai learn to truly make the music he plays “his”, like he believes the piano in the forest to be?
