This manga is opening my eyes to the truth of communication and how difficult it is on its own. There's so much in communicating, you need to trust that people mean what they say, but also understand how much gets filtered out, there's reading between the lines as well. So much goes into communicating and that's when you speak the same language.
Adding a language barrier is another obstacle. Not only is there all of the usual ways you can be misunderstood, but also trying to communicate only using basic words for mutual understanding means so much of what should be communicated is left behind.
I really love that Itsuomi is learning sign language so he can communicate with Yuki. It's very sweet.
Also starting to feel annoyed at the childhood friend. If he likes her, he should just be clear.

I was so happy that the newest Humble Bundle had some more volumes of this series, I really liked the first two volumes so happy I can read on!
In this one confession (which was so sweet, though I was a bit confused as Yuki seemed to not understand it, but later on magically did?), Itsuomi and Yuki start dating (and while they couldn't be together that first bit I did love that Itsuomi made sure to send updates/photos). Plus, I love that he watched those videos and learned more sign language and ways to communicate. There are lots of cute moments and I just love seeing Itsuomi and Yuki together. There are also some moments that I felt for Yuki because people just didn't seem to understand how deaf works or that even her closest people would sometimes forget to clearly sign/show their lips. I liked that the mangaka also showed how hard it was at times to finger read (I believe that is what it is called) or that various sounds can be misread (and that is how Yuki got her first kiss).
But Itsuomi, I get that you wanted to say another lovely bye to Yuki, but DON'T SNEAK upon a woman at night especially when she CANNOT hear you.
I really AM not in the MOOD for that childhood friend of Yuki. He is so possessive and, sorry to say, creepy. Dude, Yuki is allowed to have her own life, she has NO interest in you, so fuck off.
