I Hear the Sunspot: Theory of Happiness by Yuki Fumino

4.0

This was less heartwarming than the first volume and has a lot more drama, but I still loved it, still laughed out loud, and it features one of my all time favourite scenes!

I ship this couple, hard.

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.
