Kohei, a lonely introvert guy with hearing impairment who always bring a delicious lunch, and Taiichi, a loud extrovert guy who love to eat. Imagine the chaos.

But nah, Taiichi is chaotic but their love story isn't. Their love story is beautiful, and warm, and comforting, and heartfelt. And that's why I love it.

Such an amazing read.

Well.. That was an emotional turn of events.

The manga started strong and also highlighted some issues on abandonment, loneliness and especially deaf representation.

Short Summary
Taichi and Kohei are two very different individuals. Taichi is always hungry and on the look for a job due to his family circumstances and he would do anything if it can feed him. Kohei is cool and popular and he has hearing disabilities. They two met in a very weird circumstance that turned their encounter into a friendship.

Personal Thoughts
The first volume had set the story nicely. I like that the chapters kind of alternated between the two characters, between Kohei and Taichi. We get the perspective of the both of them which I really like and I find really cute tbh. I also like how the mangaka sets the tone of the story and that the story sets them off in college, where both of them are kind of in the midst of finding themselves whilst being used to the idea of having someone to be attached to.

It was cute and just very heartwarming. I like how Kohei and Taichi has this really cute friendship that evolved into something more. I'm digging into the story for sure and I'm happy that its one of the reads that I managed to finish in 2021 due to my hectic schedule. Can't wait to see how their relationship progresses.

Its more of a mix of coming-of-age mixed with shonen-ai that is, well, very subtle and cute. Loved it already!
