NAOSHI ARAKAWA

Kosei Arima was a piano prodigy until his cruel taskmaster of a mother died suddenly, changing his life forever. Driven by his pain to abandon piano, Kosei now lives in a monotonous, colorless world. Having resigned himself to a bland life, he is surprised when he meets Kaori Miyazono, a violinist with an unorthodox style. Can she bring Kosei back to music, and back to life? Praise for the hit anime: "Your Lie in April is about two things: loss and love … A sight to behold." —Kotaku "A happy melody … about the power of music to inspire, to energize, to bring sunshine back into a life that's lost it." —Anime News Network

Sumire Suō and Midori Soshizaki are the stars of their respective middle school girls' soccer teams. As they graduate to high school, they end up joining an eclectic cast of other new girls at Warabi Seinan High School, with hopes of taking the school's normally poor-performing team to the top. With the help of former Nadeshiko Japan player Naoko Nōmi as their new coach, they must find a way to defeat powerful new enemies ranging from other nationally-ranked school soccer teams, to their own school's administration.

On a snowy school day, the eight friends head to their classroom as usual. However, what was waiting for them was an empty classroom. Locked doors, unbreakable glass, and a frozen clock. Bewildered by a situation beyond understanding, spite quietly presses near as they try to find out which one among them is the one that's already dead. [uploaded on manhuascan]

With no soccer accomplishments to speak of during the entirety of Sumire Suou's junior high school years, the young wing gets an odd offer. Suou's main rival, Midori Soshizaki, invites her to join up on the same team in high school, with a promise that she'll never let Suou "play alone." It's an earnest offer, but the question is whether Suou will take her up on it. Thus the curtain opens on a story that collects an enormous cast of individual soccer-playing personalities!
