Ao No Orchestra summary: Hajime Aono used to have an unwavering obsession with the sound of his violin. Inspired by his world-renowned violinist father, he had been playing since childhood. However, after his parent's traumatic divorce, Aono felt aimless and without purpose as he entered high school, vowing never to play again. One day, during a PE class, Aono suffered a ball to the face and had to visit the infirmary. It was there that he stumbled upon Ritsuko Akine, who, unknown to her, was playing the violin in solitude. Akine had a reputation for being a bully, ostracized from the rest of the class due to a past incident. Although Akine dreamed of joining an orchestra, Aono found her playing lacking in both skill and knowledge, and it grated on his ears. At first, Aono was hesitant when their teacher suggested he teaches Akine how to play, yet as they spent more time together, a bond formed, and they began to understand and support each other. Aono gradually rediscovered the passion and melody he had lost.
