what a lovely manga that focuses on a hard-of-hearing girl, Kanon, and a piano student, Saki. they are both in the same class at school and although at first Kanon is not fond of any of her classmates she starts to be friends with Saki.

we get to see a very lovely and realistic friendship between two teenage girls and hopefully, in future volumes, we will get to see how they are figuring out their friendship/relationship together.

can't wait for another volume!

I was very tempted to rate it a 5 and may change it on reread in the future, but I gave it a 4 because it's very rare for me to rate a first vol in a manga series a 5 because it takes a bit of time to get truly invested in characters and a story. That said, I loved this from the very beginning. I love the art style, the dialogue, and the characters so far. I appreciate the discussion around disabilities as a whole and as a disabled person I was able to relate even though I don't share the same one as Kanon. The fact as well that it is neither romanticized, nor made into a tragedy for the sake of additional drama is very refreshing. Saki is so sweet and caring, and it was really nice to see other girls in the class give Kanon a chance too. I can't wait to continue this series and see where it goes, but this was a very strong start.

Very respectful and thoughtful handle of a hard-hearing main character (Kanon). The story does not fetishize or romanticize deafness. Wonderful portait of the friendship developed between the two girls (and more from Saki)
