🎶 it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... 🎶

"You there boy, what day is it today?"

"It is the 8th day of April."

Yelp review: ⭐⭐

Fresh snow is encasing each limb or branch to form a fuzzy looking white extension of every tree. It's very pretty unless you're shoveling.

The second moment comes VERY soon thereafter. It's when Kaori stops, turns, and says "Again" to Kosei.

She is providing something else to him as he processes his mother's death. She's providing a new focal point. Instead of focusing on the past, she's offering him a choice to look forward, look up, and look at her.

The moment is so cute and it shows the growing closeness of the two of them, even as Kosei is trying to pull away.

Yes, they're both in the first half of this volume - but they're both striking moments.

Photograph of a black and white manga panel from Your Lie in April, Volume 2. The image shows a sweat covered teenage girl with light hair turning back while holding a violin in hand saying "Again." Text in the foreground above her bow reads "Because I'm a musician."

Re-Read - Your Lie in April, Volume 2

Volume 2 of my annual re-read of Your Lie in April is down.

Instead of just commenting on the whole volume as I normally do, I wanted to focus in on moments that stood out.

First, Kosei seeing the ghost of his mother. It's a lot and while it's all in his head, it is presented so well and incredibly eerie. He has never fully processed the death of his mother and how that ties back to him and the piano. This moment is raw and wild, and well done.

Three black and white manga screenshots stacked vertically from Your Lie in April, Volume 2. All three have line work along the edges to make it appear more dramatic. The upper image shows an eyeless woman in a wheelchair with tubes to her nose. The middle panel shows a zoom in on said woman's face as she smiles eerily. The bottom panel is zoomed into a bespectacled person's right eye with their ear and hair partially visible.

Your carolan’s blythe, bricht bird i the blackthorn bou,
this braw Voar morn, wi trill eftir spirlan trill,
tho you only ken the warld as it liggs the nou,
an nocht but a glisk concerns your chatteran bill…

Maurice Lindsay On Hearin a Merle Singan (Arbroath Day, April 6th, 1946) Your carolan’s blythe, bricht bird i the blackthorn bou, this braw Voar morn, wi trill eftir spirlan trill, tho you only ken the warld as it liggs the nou, an nocht but a glisk concerns your chatteran bill. You feel the warm sun kissan your sparklan breist, sea-green it glints as you dirl your feathered thrapple, naithin mindit o things afore or neist wi whilk, on this day o days, I try tae grapple. Tae you, the Simmer’s come, sin the blue-gers glitters, an spinnan-Maggies stoiter aboot the lawn. It micht be sae, sin for days there’s no been a spitter o rain tae sloke the drouth o the yird’s dry pawn. Yet, fegs, the sun’s made you luik gey gilliegawky! Gin ye only kennt, there’s snaw i the heich hills yet. Ye’re no faur-seean, bird, lik the leathern baukie wha although he’s blin’s nae perturbed by the cauld or the het. As I hear you singan, merle, aa the thwartit flames o my luve for Scotland loup i my waefu hert, an six-hunnert-years-auld bluid reenges roun my veins till my stangit heid’s agley wi an orra smert ... But maist folk in Scotland noo hae the baukie’s een, caran for nocht that isnae smoorit in derk: an tho they wad praise your sang for its happy shein, at the thocht o the snaw i the hills their sauls aye lerk!

got Aprils job list here.
From the Scot’s Gaird’ner (1683)
Alt text is how it was printed with “f” for some of the “s” ‘s - takes a minute to scan till you get used to it.
The 'translated' english of the text is written out in a reply thread.
Love some of the name changes and the amount of foods they were eating from the garden.

Any one know what Carvy is? *Edit- Carroway has been suggested (Carum carvi)
