Almond by Won-pyung Sohn
4.0

Despite Yunjae’s inability to emote and react due to his brain condition, his narrative is very much human unlike the unkind words and perceptions of him from his peers. We see this young boy use questions and phrases to describe the feelings he does not technically feel nor understand, especially as he grows older, that is difficult for even very emotional beings to describe. It was touching to recognize the growth of emotions within him and him realizing as the story progresses and much more towards the bittersweet end.
