This manga is opening my eyes to the truth of communication and how difficult it is on its own. There's so much in communicating, you need to trust that people mean what they say, but also understand how much gets filtered out, there's reading between the lines as well. So much goes into communicating and that's when you speak the same language.

Adding a language barrier is another obstacle. Not only is there all of the usual ways you can be misunderstood, but also trying to communicate only using basic words for mutual understanding means so much of what should be communicated is left behind.

I really love that Itsuomi is learning sign language so he can communicate with Yuki. It's very sweet.

Also starting to feel annoyed at the childhood friend. If he likes her, he should just be clear.
