Though I like like Kaori more Tsubaki as a character, I like Tsubaki X Kousei as a couple more than Kaori X Kousei.

I initially didn't care much for Tsubaki at first but as the anime progressed and how it showcased her relationship with Kousei I felt more and more sympathetic towards her and hoped in the end she would end up with Kousei.

And she did... Because the other main girl is, you know.... :)


Aiza > Tsubaki >>>> & the rest for me.

Kaori x Kousei for the sole reason that their interactions in the anime were one of the, if not the most meaningful of happenings in this series, in my opinion, of course. Also, because the entire tragedy surrounding Kaori and her desire to be with Kousei even in face of impending death is a sure fire indicator of the depth of her feelings for him.

Kaori <-- Emi <-- Nagi and only then <--Tsubaki

I dont see any potential in a Tsubaki x Kousei ship, at all.

Tsubaki. I am usually against most childhood friends ships, because true friendship. Tbh, that still does apply here in a way, but I still see her as the most viaable option in this show.
I don't feel like there could be anything with Emi besides rivalry-frienship. Personalities seem to different.
Nagi admires him alot, and he grew on teaching her, but that's the extend to which this goes.
As for Kaori - I don't think I'd dislike that, but I don't really like it either. In a way they felt different too me, not as much as Kousei x Emi, but still a bit. Also, with her role helping him back up from his previous state, I kind of feel that had more of a friendship-vibe then a romance vibe.

Kaori, duh! I rarely see a character annoying as much, as Tsubaki... If I were Arima, I wouldn't be able to stand her, she was often such an ass to him. I definitely don't see her as anyone closer than female friend.

Emi and Nagi could also work out if they were given more time screen and attention.

Not a single person voted for Emi 0.0" I went for Kaori too, she's miles ahead as a winner but sadly her happiness wasn't meant to be which leaves Tsubaki eyeing for the throne >.<

Kaori was best for Arima for me without any doubt. Still I like Tsubaki too because she care for Arima too much although she care about Arima way too much. *_*

Never really liked Kaori, she was just annoying to me for most of the show. Tsubaki on the other hand, I really felt that love she had towards Arima.

None of them

Arima might be an annoying brat but that doesn't mean I think he deserved to get beaten up by a bunch of misandrists every episode

Can't choose between Kaori or Tsubaki, i love them both, but tsubaki is more like a sister to Arima, so Kaouri wins

Tsubaki because she was so in love with kousie since childhood and I believe that tsubakix kousei is a better ship.
Kaori was nice but I couldn't appreciate her more as a character

Having only seen the anime, I go with Kaori. However, at his least he had a more established relationship with Tsubaki than Naruto had with Hinata.

Personally I think Kousei x Tsubaki is the best Kaori being a good 2nd but nothing else & I'll tell you why Kaori seemed to much like rude spoiled brat of a bulldozer plowing her way through Kousei's peaceful enough life not caring what kind of psychological problems he may have & that just pushing & pushing & harassing him may not be a good idea. Now of course in the end for the most part things worked out ok but you never know with the human psyche as it can be very fragile. Now while Tsubaki is also a rather pushy girl she was at least trying to get him to move past his psychological trauma by trying to have him focus on something aside from music to just leave the past in the past because if all the thing your doing just hurts you in some way or form then don't do it, now in this case it might sound like just running away from the problem but with psychological problems I'm pretty sure they can be a hit or miss either what you tell the person to do works or it fails & hopefully it doesn't get worse. Now psychological problems aside it never felt like to me at least that Tsubaki was ever really forcing Kousei to do what she wanted like Kaori was she just acted natural for the most part & suggested to do things that they both wanted to do & they did them where as with Kaori she just like a bulldozer pushed Kousei inot doing what she wanted to do did he complain no but still she could've been more polite when asking him to go & do things with her & try to compromise on things not you will do this end of story, I never saw/heard Tsubaki doing that.

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.

I like both Emi and Aiza Nagi, though leaning more to Emi.
