What exactly was the "lie" in April?


The title of the series is **Your Lie in April** (Japanese: _Shigatsu wa Kimi
no Uso_ ).

What was the lie? What was the reason for the lie?




I believe the lie was that Kaori lied about being in love with Watari.

> On page 13 of Chapter 44. She says in her letter "This lie was that Miyazono
> Kaori had feelings for Watari Ryouta". She was secretly in love with Arima
> but didn't want to break the relationships between Arima and Tsubaki.
