    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!
    notes:
    1. classifiers are handshapes that can represent objects, people, and actions without the signer having to sign out every detail
    2. native Japanese sign language and Japanese are grammatically different
    3. sign names are unique signs for proper nouns (names)
    4. body language and expressions are important in sign language
