Saihate no Serenade is an ongoing thriller by Hino Hiroko about a two girls, matricide, and piano.

An intense suspense about a piano prodigy and her mother's murder by the industry's hottest talent, Hino Hiroko! A country town in Hokkaido. Ritsu is a junior high school student who lives in a house with a piano teacher, and Saya is a transfer student who attends the school. As the two grow closer through a piano competition, Saya tells Ritsu that she wants to kill her mother. Time passes, and ten years later. Ritsu is spending her busy days in the editorial department of a weekly magazine in Tokyo, when a body is found in her hometown in Hokkaido, causing a commotion. A memory of ten years ago and a ten year gap. As if ignoring the length of time, the story now begins to move forward. - Mangadex

No official ENG; JP available on Comic Walker.

CWs under the cut. General severity rating: moderate.

not strictly yuri? question mark? <- only four chapters have been translated and while there are definitely some yurious overtones, there's nothing really outright and its not tagged on AniList or MAL or Mangadex as GL. i have my hopes. manifesting.

blood & murder <- murder is a major plot point. violence isn't freuquently actually shown, but is talked about and implied a lot. multiple cases of head trauma in which you see blood, but no detailed injury.

emotional abuse <- from a mother. sayo's mother is always denigrating her piano playing, to a degree that sayo might want to run away, and fantasises about killing her.

HEADS UP: as already mentioned, only four chapters of the three volumes that have been released at time of writing have been translated, so take the content warnings with a grain of salt. i've flicked through the raws up til ch15 and from what i can tell, this is pretty much accurate up til there.
