Yet another bl story featuring a deaf love interest? Why, yes! This
was a great read with beautiful art and endearing main characters.
Their outgoing, earnest and straightforward personalities captured
my heart! I think their eagerness, rather their passion to
express and understand struck a cord in me. It was
heartwarming to see them continuously learn how to better
communicate with each other. I'm not typically interested in stories
with school settings because I find the environment to be boring
. I also hate miscommunication tropes but it makes sense here
since they're literally speaking different languages
.
It was fun to learn about deaf culture too. Vol 1 is a great
introduction to Keito's & Fujinaga's relationship. I will be
checking out Vol 2!
