love the Deaf culture representation. there's a wide spectrum of people in the Deaf community in this story and I'm glad that Kohei is getting opinions to work his opinions out within the hearing/Deaf sides and figuring things out for himself.
love everything about this story, the build up is just so slow

damn, i really thought it couldn’t get more angsty than the first two volume but as always i was proven wrong. i’m so happy we got to dive into taichi’s backstory and his family dynamic. it really added more depth to his character, seeing as only koichei’s was that fleshed out in the first volume. i honestly feel like the complaints about the problem with their relationship being repetitive isn’t exactly right. the motives are a little different here and it makes sense for where they are in life (one in college and the other is working full-time).
I borrowed from my library. This is the only one in their database. So I will be looking into buying the series. This was an unexpected read as well as an unexpected five stars for me.
Onto the review.
I Hear the Sunspot by Yuki Fumino is a beautifully poignant manga that gently explores love, loneliness, and the deep human need for connection. At its core, it's a story about two young men—Kohei, a college student with a hearing impairment, and Taichi, an outspoken, cheerful guy who stumbles into Kohei’s world and changes it forever.
What makes this story so special is its delicate portrayal of Kohei’s struggles—not just with his hearing loss, but with the isolation and self-doubt that come with it. Through Taichi’s warmth and unwavering support, Kohei begins to open up, and their friendship (or perhaps something more) blossoms in the most tender, organic way.
Fumino’s artwork is soft yet expressive, perfectly capturing the quiet moments that carry so much emotion. Every glance, every subtle gesture speaks volumes, making this a deeply immersive read. The way the story handles disability awareness is also incredibly thoughtful, shedding light on the daily challenges Kohei faces while never reducing him to just his hearing loss.
For anyone who loves stories about quiet, heartfelt connections and the kind of love that sneaks up on you when you least expect it, I Hear the Sunspot is a must-read. It’s a reminder that sometimes, even in the silence, the most important things can be heard.
If this ship ever sinks I am sinking with it.
Get in loser we are hopefully watching these two blossom!

I enjoyed this book quite a bit as it dealt with the complexity of hearing loss and wanting to hold on to the past even though it’s holding you back. Overall I was a bit annoyed with the repetition of what are we conversations but aside from that it was enjoyable!
Este toma se centra más en la vida profesional que están tomando nuestros protagonista, y como esto les esta distanciando. Empecé este mango por los confort que parecía, pero no negare que este tomo me ha hecho sufrir mucho!!! Por dios comuníquense, quiéranse AAA!!! Sin duda, es una historia bien construida con muchos matices, y estoy deseando seguir leyéndola.
Enjoyed the content but the translation is hard to follow I will definitely give it another try.
This series is a great read-alike for Heartstopper or Check Please. I can't belive people aren't obsessed with this series in the US.
