Summary

Yuki is a typical college student--it's just that she can't hear。 A chance encounter on a train leads to a serious crush。。。but will he give her a chance？ A sweet and relatable manga romance from the creator of Shortcake Cake！

Even with a hearing aid， the voices of others are an indistinct blur for Yuki。 But she never lets that get in the way of a life full of friends， social media， and cute fashion。 One day， she's browsing her phone on train， when a tourist asks her for directions。 Yuki nearly panics。。。until the handsome Itsuomi steps in to help。 It turns out her new crush is a friend of a friend， and Yuki's world starts to widen。 But even though Itsuomi-kun can speak three languages， sign language isn't one of them。 How will Yuki communicate her budding feelings？

From the acclaimed author of Shortcake Cake， the hit shojo series with more than a million copies in print， this new work is full of real-life details about Japanese sign language and living without hearing， and it's sure to please fans of romantic stories like A Silent Voice， Kimi ni Todoke， and Love in Focus！

So cute

completely adorableI am obsessed with this manga and story。 I wish there were more volumes out。 It makes me want to learn more sign language。

I was excited to see my library get the next volume and luckily there weren’t too many holds on it。 It also didn’t take long for me to dive right in！This volume picks up where the last one left off。 I like seeing how Itsuomi introduces Yuki into his world when it comes to his friends。 He really is sweet and also goes at her pace when it comes to affection。 He understands her body language and doesn’t pressure her into anything。I also liked seeing Yuki’s friend， Rin， start to speak her feelings t I was excited to see my library get the next volume and luckily there weren’t too many holds on it。 It also didn’t take long for me to dive right in！This volume picks up where the last one left off。 I like seeing how Itsuomi introduces Yuki into his world when it comes to his friends。 He really is sweet and also goes at her pace when it comes to affection。 He understands her body language and doesn’t pressure her into anything。I also liked seeing Yuki’s friend， Rin， start to speak her feelings towards Itsuomi’s cousin。 I will be curious to see where they go from the whole confession part！I think my only complaint is that even though I do like their relationship I guess I am used to a bit more drama and maybe that is what’s throwing me off from loving this one。 This really isn’t a complaint though and maybe I am the only one who feels this way。Overall， I enjoyed reading this one。 Itsuomi is the perfect guy！ I can’t wait to see how their relationship blossoms even more。 。。。more

It’s a cute series， but I still don’t really care for the male lead。

Craig Schorling ，

Another solid entry。 The story and characters are progressing nicely。 So far it is avoiding some of the more consistent tropes in the genre which I appreciate。

Kadi P ，

RTC when I can be bothered。。。

Valeria ，

Perfecto， amo que Itsuomi realmente trata de comunicarse con ella， no solo aprendiendo lenguaje de señas， sino que trata de entender que piensa y le demuestra lo que él siente。

Riri Carstairs ，

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Again， I really have nothing else to say about this but constant praise。 You can really see here how Itsuomi truly cares for Yuki， but that's not the only exciting development here。 For starters， we also see some exciting development from Kouya and Rin; Shin also plans on telling Emma his true feelings， and lastly， this volume ended with Oushi and Itsuomi having a talk over Yuki。 Overall， another great volume。 Thank you， Morishita-sensei！ Again， I really have nothing else to say about this but constant praise。 You can really see here how Itsuomi truly cares for Yuki， but that's not the only exciting development here。 For starters， we also see some exciting development from Kouya and Rin; Shin also plans on telling Emma his true feelings， and lastly， this volume ended with Oushi and Itsuomi having a talk over Yuki。 Overall， another great volume。 Thank you， Morishita-sensei！ 。。。more

5 stars ☆i decided to start this manga randomly and i'm finally caught up with the recent chapter and i binged all eighteen chapters in one sitting because these characters had me invested in their story。 🥺🥺 the main plot is about this hearing-impaired girl， Yuki （19）， and this guy who loves to travel， Itsuomi （22）， who meet on a train when a stranger came to ask Yuki for help but， seeing as how she's not able to hear， Itsu comes to her rescue。so far， not much drama has happened really， it's cut 5 stars ☆i decided to start this manga randomly and i'm finally caught up with the recent chapter and i binged all eighteen chapters in one sitting because these characters had me invested in their story。 🥺🥺 the main plot is about this hearing-impaired girl， Yuki （19）， and this guy who loves to travel， Itsuomi （22）， who meet on a train when a stranger came to ask Yuki for help but， seeing as how she's not able to hear， Itsu comes to her rescue。so far， not much drama has happened really， it's cute and wholesome and i'm livingg for it but i can already sense the kind of conflict these two will face within their relationship and i'm looking forward to see how that will play out。 👀 aside from the two main leads， i'm also interested to see Rin （Yuki's friend） and Kyouya's （Itsu's cousin/manager of the shop he works part-time at） relationship developing further cause they were pretty cute。i haven't read much mangas， but i think this could definitely be the start for me。 :'） 。。。more
