M&C! Licenses Your Lie in April Manga in Indonesia
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Indonesian publisher M&C announced on its Facebook page on Tuesday that it has acquired Naoshi Arakawa's Your Lie in April manga, and will publish the first volume on August 19.
The manga centers around Arima Kōsei, a child prodigy with the piano due in large part to the strict and cruel training of his mother. After his mother died, the pain drove him to abandon the piano. His mundane life begins to change when he meets Kaori Miyazono, a colorful and unorthodox violinist who begins to bring back to his life the joy of playing music.
Arakawa launched the manga in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Magazine in 2011, and ended it in February. Kodansha published the manga's 11th and final compiled book volume on May 15. The series won the Best Shōnen Manga category in Kodansha's 37th Annual Manga Awards in 2013. The manga was adapted into a 22-episode TV anime series that premiered last October.
