Summary
Because of a hearing disability， Kohei is often misunderstood and has trouble integrating into life on campus， so he learns to keep his distance。 That is until he meets the outspoken and cheerful Taichi。 He tells Kohei that his hearing loss is not his fault。 Taichi's words cut through Kohei's usual defense mechanisms and open his heart。 More than friends， less than lovers， their relationship changes Kohei forever。

This was great！ One-sitting reading that had me ah-ing and awww-ing out loud :）The cover really conveys the gentle vibe of this manga。The characters are cute。 Taichi reminded me of Luffy from One Piece with his design and love for food; he's pretty lovable <3 And Kohei， I was so invested in his wellbeing and he's overall such a great character。 Love their friendship and they have good chemistry。 Looking forward to the rest of the series！ This was great！ One-sitting reading that had me ah-ing and awww-ing out loud :）The cover really conveys the gentle vibe of this manga。The characters are cute。 Taichi reminded me of Luffy from One Piece with his design and love for food; he's pretty lovable <3 And Kohei， I was so invested in his wellbeing and he's overall such a great character。 Love their friendship and they have good chemistry。 Looking forward to the rest of the series！ 。。。more

3。5/5 stars。 Easy read。 The moment where they were realizing they liked each other felt a little weird and misplaced。 I really like the characters and the slice of life aspect of this manga。

it was sweet and i like the idea of the book :] couples with loud， cheery person that falls in love with a quiet person >>>i liked the portrayal of people with hearing disabilities and how food brought people together。i just didn't really connect to the characters， i am not sure why。 i smiled a lot while reading it but something just felt a bit off。 the book was so short that the character + friendship development happened very quickly and i didn't have enough time to get used to it。i think i ju it was sweet and i like the idea of the book :] couples with loud， cheery person that falls in love with a quiet person >>>i liked the portrayal of people with hearing disabilities and how food brought people together。i just didn't really connect to the characters， i am not sure why。 i smiled a lot while reading it but something just felt a bit off。 the book was so short that the character + friendship development happened very quickly and i didn't have enough time to get used to it。i think i just didn't read manga for a while so i forgot how the format works lol。 i had very high expectations for this so i was disappointed。 but， it was still a nice read。 。。。more

Didn't expect it to be this beautiful， it has so many layers in it。 I look forward to how deeper things would unfold and how they would handle those。 Didn't expect it to be this beautiful， it has so many layers in it。 I look forward to how deeper things would unfold and how they would handle those。 。。。more

Gosh， this is such a beautiful manga。 The art does a great job in reflecting the characters and it somehow feels incredibly soft and emotional as black line art。 I Hear the Sunspot begins with our hungry protagonist， Taichi， rolling down a hill and landing next to a guy he vaguely recognizes。 The guy doesn’t speak but offers Taichi food and wanders off。 The next day Taichi attempts to track the guy down and learn his name to return the food container he was given the day before。 This is when he Gosh， this is such a beautiful manga。 The art does a great job in reflecting the characters and it somehow feels incredibly soft and emotional as black line art。 I Hear the Sunspot begins with our hungry protagonist， Taichi， rolling down a hill and landing next to a guy he vaguely recognizes。 The guy doesn’t speak but offers Taichi food and wanders off。 The next day Taichi attempts to track the guy down and learn his name to return the food container he was given the day before。 This is when he officially meets Kohei， who is often assumed to be standoffish and cold but is suffering from hearing loss and finds it easier to stay away from people。 He eventually hires Kohei as his note-taker and the two become very close friends as Taichi helps Kohei come out of his shell。 Taichi doesn’t understand why people would judge Kohei for something he can’t control， like hearing loss and having someone supportive like that allows Kohei to open up more and more。 This is a very moving， sweet story that really makes you emotionally connect as you read。 I can’t wait to continue with the next few volumes。 It’s quite beautiful and I love Taichi standing up for Kohei and refusing to let him put himself down because of something he has no control over。 Also although this is considered a Boys Love romance manga， the romance aspect is basically non-existent。 It’s more a coming into your own story and a story about people supporting one another when they need it。 It’s pretty wonderful。 Blog / Twitter / Instagram 。。。more

y’all this is by far the best manga i’ve ever read。 it is so cute and endearing。 i was squealing the whole time。 if you read， prepare for high levels of serotonin。also， this is the first book you should read in this series。 there is another called Theory of Happiness， that is the second one you should read。 then continue with volumes 1-3。 this had me so confused but you’re welcome。

I hear the sunspot| Rezension |。Die Geschichte war zuckersüß und sehr cute。 An manchen Stellen hatte sie aber auch （meiner Meinung nach） ihre Längen🙈 Ich mag den Zeichenstil wirklich gerne。 Für Zwischendurch ist es wunderbar。 Es hat mir gefallen， wie die Thematik von Koheis Gehörverlusts mit eingebunden wurde。 。3/5⭐

Love， Loss and Hearing AidsA beautifully-rendered love story about a distant hard of hearing man and his incredibly eager， kind and passionate friend who makes notes for him during college classes in exchange for a bento box。I usually read shonen-ai for the fun of it without much expectation for the story and character development， and I definitely don't expect a realistic and well-informed look at a hard of hearing and Deaf individuals。Kohei is a college student who partially lost his hearing a Love， Loss and Hearing AidsA beautifully-rendered love story about a distant hard of hearing man and his incredibly eager， kind and passionate friend who makes notes for him during college classes in exchange for a bento box。I usually read shonen-ai for the fun of it without much expectation for the story and character development， and I definitely don't expect a realistic and well-informed look at a hard of hearing and Deaf individuals。Kohei is a college student who partially lost his hearing as a young boy due to a viral infection。 He is withdrawn and often chided for being quiet and cold， but in reality is stuck in a whirlwind of loneliness， caught between the world of the hearing and world of the Deaf; hearing individuals think he is snobbish， while Deaf individuals don't often involve him in conversations since he cannot use sign language。I can't speak for anyone with a hearing loss， but I'm a speech therapist with a few Deaf and HoH friends with an （incredibly） basic understanding of sign language。 Both my Hard of Hearing friends feel isolated from both worlds， just like Kohei， since they live in a kind of purgatory where neither world understands them fully， making them isolated as a result。Enter Taichi - an incredibly cheerful， painfully self-unaware college kid who breaks his back working to take care of himself and his grandfather。 When Kohei sends out an ad for a note writer， Taichi jumps at the chance to experience something new。 Despite being a big doofus， he is utterly unbiased and sees people as people and not as their disabilities， while still making a deliberate effort to accommodate Kohei without being condescending in the process。Taichi sees the beautiful side of Kohei and doesn't believe any of the rumours surrounding Kohei。 As it turns out， most people don't even know that Kohei is hard of hearing and attribute his distant nature to simply believing he is better than others due to his good looks and wealthy parent。 This is a great reflection on ableism and misunderstanding that doesn't feel at all preachy。 I absolutely adored that despite the backdrop centering around hearing loss， the author managed to portray a thoughtful and healthy queer love story that would stand well on its own。 However， the well-researched backdrop with believable leads and side characters from varying backgrounds ranging from a spunky deaf-at-birth boy to a poverty-stricken hearing person， just inches the story that much higher up to my favourite manga。 It's also absolutely refreshing to see a host of intriguing side characters who don't hinder the story。 I tried to write this review more from a mature perspective instead of a "grrrr so cute im gonna die" viewpoint since those entail the majority of the reviews， and are definitely attractive to current shonen-ai fans， but not so much for those unfamiliar with the genre。 I really hope someone picks this up， even if it is outside of their comfort zone。 There's so much to learn hear about love， loss and hearing aids。 。。。more

Very cute story！ I really liked the characters and how they interacted with each other。 I was not expecting Kohei to be so withdrawn， but I think it really adds to his character/personality。 I also really like the art style in this book， it’s very light and emotive。 Anyway， I think Kohei and Taichi fit together quite well， and I’m interested to see where the story goes next！

This is a reread because I finally picked up book two/the sequel， and what a joy even the second time through。 The dynamic between Taichi and Kohei is a tried and true loud dumbass full of heart and reserved and a bit grumpy with a fondness for dumbass。 I am someone who frequently struggles to see/really believe the build up of a relationship in whole novels， but this is not one of those times， which is saying something about how well this is written/structured。 （Now I just need a Taichi to fall This is a reread because I finally picked up book two/the sequel， and what a joy even the second time through。 The dynamic between Taichi and Kohei is a tried and true loud dumbass full of heart and reserved and a bit grumpy with a fondness for dumbass。 I am someone who frequently struggles to see/really believe the build up of a relationship in whole novels， but this is not one of those times， which is saying something about how well this is written/structured。 （Now I just need a Taichi to fall into my life and befriend me in all my particularity ahahaha ^_^*） 。。。more
