A Sign of Affection

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.

This romantic shojo series is centred on Yuki Itose, a deaf university student. She can lip read but also communicates using Japanese Sign Language and text. One day, on a train, she meets Itsuomi Nagi, a well-travelled fellow student, and they form a friendship that quickly blossoms into a romance as she helps him learn how to sign. Some drama is added to proceedings by Oshi, a childhood friend of Yuki's who has strong feelings for her and doesn't approve of Itsoumi.

I thought this was a really sweet series. It is very different from most anime series I've watched. It is rare to have a deaf character in any film or series let alone something animated. The story feels very real; there is little or no real danger and it is firmly grounded in the real world. While there are amusing moments there aren't obvious gags. The character designs are good as is the animation. The latter is particularly important as sign language requires far more work to animate that the lip flaps of spoken dialogue. Overall I'd recommend tthis to anime fans looking for something a bit different.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

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."

I watched entire 1st season it is fantastic its not just slapped together I swear entire time I watched it I smiled please check it out if you want good story telling and to feel good and smile all day. It has handsome lead men and beautiful your girls it's not a bunch of screaming kids or magic no super heroes just great story with young college people going about daily lives it has a different take on young love friendships. I like how beautiful lead man is all the characters are quite handsome I fell in love myself but main character just like my husband and I recall how I met him how cute my hubby was.

For someone who doesn't usually finish an anime series and doesn't read mangas... I cant get enough of this that I also read the manga and finished the whole series twice within a week. I hope everything goes well and more people will watch the show and love it. The series & anime was well written and really showed the emotions of the characters. The expressions shown were also really cute. Everyone's story was told and not just one sided. I really hope there would be another season. This is such a cute and simple love story. Like the story, it's not overly done. Honestly, I really loved it!! Also Itsuomi looks like Gojo. :)
