CUTE SAPPHIC ROMANCE with a hard of hearing love interest! Not only that, but there's a list of works cited by the manga writer in the back, as well as a set of three reference notes early on? Love that, love the care put into trying to represent a hard of hearing character well, while also putting out that each person experiences things like that differently.
I also like the big context clues that Saki has always been a lesbian, so when this eventually blossoms into more of a romance it won't meet the unfortunate step a lot of GL manga do where "oh but we're both girls oh nooo" since Saki is already well on that path (Kanon who knows but this is the first volume and she's the love interest so! We'll see.)
This is cute and I want to keep up with the series after this!
