The Moon on a Rainy Night, Vol. 1 by Kuzushiro

4.0

I got an ARC of this book.

It was so cute and wholesome. I love seeing more disabilities popping up in media, but as I am not Deaf I do not know if this is great representation of the Japanese Deaf experience. I liked that there was some talk about hearing aides, sign language, and lip reading, but that it wasn't a lesson. It felt like normal conversations between friends.

The f/f aspect was super light, but in a way that felt like it could grow with consent. That there was something building, but they were learning each other first. I appreciated that it wasn't insta-love and not just immediately coming out. It was clear that they hadn't really thought about romance like this before, but that isn't stopping it from happening.

It was a nice read, I look forward to the second volume.
