Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!
This is a sweet manga that gives me similar vibes to I Hear The Sunspot just with a sapphic undertone (at the moment). The characters are sweet although a bit too reminiscent of IHTS, it feels a bit copy and paste. HOWEVER, I do think these stories should exist and it looks like the mangaka did research as well as had a research assistant to provide an accurate depiction of our hard of hearing love interest. I would love to see a manga where our deaf or hard of hearing character is the protagonist and we get their POV more. IHTS, A Silent Voice and now this one still focus entirely on the deaf or hard of hearing character as a love interest who makes the protagonist a better person and grow. And maybe there is a manga out there that has this and I haven’t found it yet - I would love to know. Besides all that, this is a very sweet budding love story (hopefully at least) between two girls. Highly recommend for those who enjoy I Hear The Sunspot and A Silent Voice!
