Who do you like with Kousei Arima more ?

I don’t mind people preferring Tsubaki at all I think both women leads were great and had deep feelings for Kousei. I personally feel Tsubaki would always have a friend/sister vibe. I see a lot of people saying they didn’t see romance between Kaori and Kousei but I disagree they had a deep unseen love the kind that is felt but not said.

Many may not be fans of that but it’s what they had it was passionate and anytime they interacted with one another chemistry was on 10. Tsubaki and Kousei’s relationship lacked depth it wasn’t deep they never had deep conversations and barley had much in common. Not saying you must have something in common to be compatible w/ someone but it helps. Tsubaki looked at music as something that took Kousei from her while Kaori looked at it as a way for Kousei to express himself. That’s how we musicians talk/express ourselves.

The chemistry these two had was unmatched every time they were together was like a fairy tail. I remember watching the anime and always looking forward to them spending time together hoping time could just freeze for the two of them. They expressed themselves through the music a language they both understood well.

Yes, Kaori bulldozes through Kousei’s life because it’s what he needed. He needed a wake up call with Tsubaki he would not have matured or grown he would have stayed stagnant. I guess it falls on what you deem is love or how you cope with things. Some people want space others want someone to dive in the deep end with them. Kaori went in the water to lead Kousei up. A relationship is where we grow and change together, it should be with a person who understands us. Kaori knew the only way to help Kousei was to push him out of his comfort zone.

She did also respect Kousei and Tsubaki because she knew Tsubaki loved Kousei and her time was limited she didn’t want to get between them. Hence the lie. If you want to argue she didn’t express her love enough that’s why. But we had great moments where she clenched to Kousei and told him she didn’t want to die and she wished she knew more about him such as his interest, we had moments where they performed/rehearsed passionately together, lots of laughs and caneles to much to finish. She wrote a letter expressing her love for him and leaving him her most cherished treasure a photobomb of her and Kousei.

I just finished Your Lie in April so my feels are running deep I binged it within two days and it’s left a mark on me. Kaori will always be in my heart and Kousei’s no matter what. She was the one that got away, like a lightning strike she came crashing down and disappeared. She will not be forgotten she has reached a good majority of us. I may be late with this but that’s the beauty of media you can never be late this piece is timeless.
