A “playboy” character is present in the main cast and makes some less than polite but not too bad comments about how hot/cute other girls are.

The main character was abused by a helicopter mother as a child to focus on his piano skills to the exclusion of everything else — breaks, friends, hobbies, and so on. A fairly common issue with the gifted — whether mathematically gifted, creatively gifted or physically gifted, to be used as a way for a parent or two to gain prestige.

People in the anime keep framing Kosei's mother's incredible verbal, emotional, and physical abuse as "done out of love", and convince him to forgive her.

Not that exact wording, but a character asks another character if he wants to do a suicide pact. She later says she's joking but it's implied she was serious and backpedaled

One of the primary plot hooks is that the main character has performance anxiety to the point that he can no longer hear his own notes.
