This was a lovely read. I liked that we got an expanded look at how hearing loss and deafness are treated differently. And how Kohei is mentoring someone with a similar hearing loss as him. I liked that we got more of Taichi being an absolute disaster, bust still being so sweet and understanding of others. I also loved that Taichi was so willing to fight for better treatment/accommodations/services for Kohei and other hard of hearing people like him. One of the other things I really enjoyed about this manga was that these boys were so stubborn about admitting their feelings! They we both being dumb about things and trying to protect the other, but when they finally admitted they liked each other? I just turned into a puddle of goo. This one is getting four out to five stars and I can’t wait to read the next one.

The introduction of Maya helped to move the story along, but gahhh these boys are frustrating me! I wish they would be more direct with each other without embarrassment or internalized homophobia.

While I really loved I Hear the Sunspot, unfortunately, this volume fell flat for me big time. The miscommunication trope was so over-used, that it felt like literally almost every single chapter was just more drama for no reason at all. I don't mind a little bit of miscommunication, but when these characters' interactions seem to constantly be separated by months of silence over it? No thanks. :(

✨ Representation: Kohei and Maya are deaf; Kohei and Taichi are both queer
