    I hope there will be a session 2

    The plot is very simple and depth. I'm so enjoying it as a low - drama romance that has a lot of refreshing perspective line.

    This stories can reminds you- how To love and make a deep connection. I believe that affection can grow into love. A sign of affection or yubisaki to Renren have a depth plot - to make you learn how to show affection and reduce conflict. We can see this throught on Yuki and Itsuomi characters. The story show- how to face a realty live as a disability person. And finally, I'm very excited to continues watch if there have a session 2- to see Yuki and Itsuomi fullfill their dream together .

    My first 10

    I watched the first episode, seeking a witty romance show. I found it to be captivating in both the artwork and character dynamics. I watched it again later with my wife and she enjoyed it as much as I did. It is aesthetically pleasing, charming, and (for lack of a better term) "cute." In fact, it is so cute I find myself doting over it (can't say I have ever experienced that before with a movie or tv show). I'm not even embarrassed to admit it-it's just an impactful show.

    So far, I have found it to be delivering in the romance genre, and it is also quite funny. If you are looking for a show that is heartwarming, wholesome, and will have you melt with sheer delight, I would recommend this to you. I hope the series continues this momentum and other shows follow in its footsteps. Thank you.

    Fantastic show

    A very well made romantic comedy of a deaf girl and her beautiful and amazing boyfriend, she is very lucky tbh, he is the whole package, lets talk about her, she is just an average girl, cute of course but average, he deserves better but its ok, its his choice, lets talk about him instead, he is practically the perfect guy, every girl wants someone like him, charming m, smart, habdsome, he it's probably huge too

    The other cast of characters all love him, he is just a perfect romantic male character in my humble opinion ok, lets talk about the other girl who has a crush on him, she is a more complete woman, i think they should be together instead of the main girl.

    My heart can't take how cute it is!

    I'm only 3 episodes in so far, but this is really good. It's nice to see a wholesome romance that's not In high school. Assuming this review is still up when the series finishes, my opinion stands.

    Anyway, it's so cute. It's already up there with my favorites.

    The art is very nice, and the show does a good job with allowing us to understand the sign language.

    My only nitpick this the use of the "overprotective childhood best friend" trope, but it seems like that could be solved soon.

    Back to positives, the character design is great, and it's not super fanservicey.

    TLDR: it's super wholesome and pretty, give it a shot.

    Female applicant. Do you like bold men?

    Do you like a male character who touches the head of a woman he meets for the first time? You seem to like men who ignore distance and come closer to you. Authorship.

    I hate series like this that don't make the drama more difficult. Then, details on the animation. The lip movements and the beautician's hand movements are excellent. Then I wonder why this was made into an animation!

    There is none... Is it because there are more people watching the animation than the live-action version? Rival strength? Who is the enemy? If you want some drama in your sign language, I recommend the animated movie "koe no katachi."
