Yen Press licensed Sound! Euphonium’s novel in English and describes it as follows:
Finding yourself, one note at a time…After a terrible disappointment at the All-Kyoto Concert Band Competition, music has lost its spark for Kumiko. But her first year at Kitauji High School is a chance for a fresh start. So when it comes time to choose a club, she can’t resist rejoining the band – even though they simply suck. The stern new club director has promised to help them settle into the National team, but the trouble runs deeper than a lack of practice. Additionally, discord within the club brings up Kumiko’s old insecurities. Can Kitauji High School find its rhythm before the competition? Will Kumiko?
