Plot
THE POPULAR MANGA AND ANIME DRAMA COMES TO LIFE IN WORDS! There's not a competition that piano prodigy Arima hasn't won since he started playing. His renditions are matchless in their precision. When he's only eleven, however, his peerless fingers fall silent--right up there on stage. Exploring the shock of the incident and its aftermath from his friends and rivals' perspectives, A Six-Person Etude accompanies the boy's halting efforts to pick himself up as an adolescent. Based on the hit series, these prose chapters expand on the original but form a coherent and hard-hitting tale of its own.
