Reviews tagging 'Bullying'

Thanks Netgalley and publisher for sharing me Volume 1. I really like the fact we have one of the leads as someone who is deaf and my god the art is pretty whenever we get a closeup of the girls. Hate the sister tho, she's such a annoying wimp tho 😡😡😡😡

4.5

Age rating is 16+ on the cover of the book. I think this probably applies to later volumes because this one was pretty tame. If I had to compare it to other series I have read it could be said that The Moon on a Rainy Night seems vaguely like a Your Lie in April and A Silent Voice mash up. But yuri. It kinda has similar vibes, but of course it is completely different.

I really liked the art. It's quite clean with some very good attention to detail. You can tell some of the panels took some time. The manga itself brings some attention to certain difficulties hard of hearing (and in some cases, deaf) people face that we full hearing people wouldn't think twice about. It touches on bullying and arguably 'ableism' but over all is just a really nice start to a relationship, friend or otherwise, of two girls.

Can't wait to read the next one!

After being helped by a stranger while coming home from a private lesson, Saki realises that this stranger is her new classmate Kanon, who is hard of hearing. This story follows them as their relationship develops and romantic feelings bloom.

This is a refreshing take for the Yuri/GL genre, since it's rare to encounter much disability representation there. The author clearly makes an effort to faithfully capture what that experience is like. I also love being able to see how Kanon opens up to the people around her. Really looking forward to seeing where their relationship goes from here !

CW for ableism and bullying.

I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

High Schooler Saki meets new student Kanon. After Kanon is introduced to the class and it is revealed she is hard of hearing, she walls herself off from the other students. Saki takes it upon herself to become her friend and after Saki ends up at Kanon’s house for piano lessons, the two quickly connect and open up to each other.

This Manga is perfect for those who are fans of I hear the Sunspot. It is a cheery romance with a ton of heart. The characters are incredibly lovable and unique, with great chemistry. It was a joy to get to watch them grow as people and get closer to each other in the process. The author clearly did their research and poured so much love and effort into making these characters as real as possible. Teaching the audience as the characters learn themselves.

I am incredibly excited to continue reading and see where these characters go in the future.
