The scenes where they shared a bed were so cute, they’re both so adorable 🤭😭🥹

Why do you need someone LIKE me when you have me right here?!
Saki and Kanon continue to be the best of friends, but Saki’s feeling incredibly conflicted about it for some reason. Between sleepovers and wise stylists and everybody’s past coming back, it’s Saki’s time to deal with a lot of things all at once.
This is the volume where this series tipped over to fantastic from really good. Sometimes the writing feels a little off to me for some reason I can’t quite put my finger on, but this gets so much right that it’s hard to complain about it.
Yuri that deals with queerness is one of those things I always appreciate and we get the big revelation this volume that Saki is absolutely closeted to hell and back and she’s really struggling with it. Especially because she thinks being honest will cost her her best friend.
Saki ends up having Kanon sleep over because of a situation, not necessarily a bad one, at Kanon’s home and the undercurrent of terror and self-torment is expressed so wonderfully that it’s this close to being heart wrenching.
This comes after a hair adventure that cutely pivots from what you expect is about to happen in the most cliche way possible into a real bonding moment when somebody recognizes a lot of themselves in Saki and extends a hand that she doesn’t quite know she needs yet.
Minus some really fun stuff with Kanon’s dad, Kanon is definitely a life goal more than a character this time out, which is actually a bonus. Kanon is great, but Saki hasn’t had as much of the spotlight and boy does that turn out fantastically this volume.
Saki is incredibly sympathetic - scared of her own feelings, having been forced to deal with what sure looks like homophobia in the past, and petrified that she’s feeling things that Kanon never will (although my guess is that Kanon’s own backstory as about to be revealed will put the lie to that).
And it doesn’t help that Kanon’s actions could be read as either incredibly flirty (the lip reading in bed is something else) or just super friendly because this is a girl that Kanon just gets along super well with.
We see during conversations with both Kanon’s dad and Rinne that Kanon has changed in really positive ways with Saki and thinks a ton about her, but what does that mean? The uncertainty and anxiety that weighs on Saki is conveyed note perfect.
Brutally emotional and delightfully revelatory, the decision to focus on Saki and reveal so much about her this volume really brings her into her own and it also throws a light on a problem that the story is taking pains to look at - because Kanon has such a rough time compared to most people because of her hearing, where do the problems of the people she’s close to fit in?
That’s a hell of a question for a piece of schoolgirl yuri and I’m glad that this is shaping up to be much more than just that. There’s some real emotional heft here that’s making smarter moves than I admit I was initially expecting from it.
4.5 stars - some of it still feels a bit stiff, but man do I love the dilemmas and complexities in this volume, which pile on the other stuff to just make one huge mess that I’m excited to see the outcome of when it gets untangled.

Oh Saki, sweet wee babe. 3

Well, that was quite melancholic at the end again (which was both great and not), but overall this volume had much more of a sad vibe.
Saki still is effected by what Rinne said, and at the same time also by her past. There isn't much revealed yet, but from what is teased, it's possible Saki had a crush on a girl before and it didn't end well. With homophobia/heteronormativity involved.
Like I said, I do love melancholy (like in the last chapter of this volume), but not when it becomes overly sad. Not even in a depressing way, but more in a "why does society have to be so close-minded" way. And at some point that can get a bit annoying, so 4 stars again.
The author and artist do overall a great job in portraying these heavy matters. I'm just not a fan of homophobia, especially when it started out relatively positive... and considering it came out in 2022.
I will keep reading though.

how does this manga series keep getting better and better with each volume it's UNREAL 😭 i really liked this saki-focused volume; her feelings are so pure and genuine. i deeply adore her ❤️

After reading Volume 2, I wrote in my review that I felt like the pace had become much slower, but this volume picked it up for the best! On a side note, how are all the characters in this series so drop dead gorgeous? The drawings often make my jaw drop.
The two girls are getting closer to one another while their friendship grows stronger, leaving Saki quite distraught. I actually like how naive and innocent she is. She doesn’t know how to deal with what she’s feeling, though she tries her best to be a listening ear for Kanon.
I once again really enjoyed getting to know more about Kanon’s family, with the introduction of her dad and former friend. I can’t believe the volume ended on such a cliffhanger, considering I now have to wait 2 more months for the release of the next volume… *sigh* but in any case, I hope we’ll get to learn more about Saki’s background soon, too. What is the secret she so fiercely keeps from Kanon? Does this have to do with her feelings? Has Saki already fallen for a friend of hers before?
Overall, this volume had a beautiful and heartwarming undertone, reminding us that love knows no gender, and that pain is always part of the equation.

This series is just too good, I must read it online now that I’m caught up with my printed editions.
Also, I fell off the face of the earth for a bit because I could only resist the Stardew Valley update for four days and then I caved and played for 10+ hours everyday this week oops.

The series just keeps getting better, more emotionally rich. The normal teen angst is there, but it doesn't slide into cliche. Just wonderful.

J'ai toujours aimé les histoires de premières fois. C'est plein de délicatesse et de maladresse. Encore plus quand comme ici viennent s'ajouter des blocages.
L'originalité de cette amitié romantique, c'est que l'une des héroïnes, Kanon, est sourde et son handicap ne change pas la donne mais apporte une teinte particulière à leur relation déjà compliquée par le blocage de Saki à assumer ses sentiments pour les femmes. Ça change.
Ayant cette année dans ma classe une petite qui a été sourde suite à une maladie mais qui a retrouvé l'audition, cela me fait porter un regard nouveau sur le travail de Kuzushiro et j'avoue que je trouve celui-ci assez remarquable par bien des côtés. Je retrouve dans les traits qu'elle a donnés à Kanon, certains ''types'' effectivement des sourds, ce qui donne un joli vernis de réalisme.
Dans ce tome, cela s'intensifie du côté de Saki. Elle perçoit de mieux en mieux ses sentiments pour Kanon et souhaiteraient les exprimer mais sans savoir si elle a le droit de le faire et comment ils seront perçus. C'est assez poignant de la voir autant hésiter à cause du mal être qu'elle ressent suite à une mauvaise expérience passée et la peur de revivre cela. J'ai donc apprécié sa rencontre, bien que fort maladroite, avec une coiffeuse qui a tenté de lui ouvrir les yeux, puis avec Aya, l'ancienne meilleure amie de Kanon, qui lui raconte aussi leur histoire. Tout cela va permettre, je le crois, de faire maturer et avancer les choses.
Car en l'état, nous sommes face à une histoire des plus mignonnes entre elles mais aux avancées minimes. On les voit passer des moments agréables ensemble. On voit une Kanon de plus en plus enjouée, une Saki qui retrouve le sourire et la vue, symbolisait par cette franche qui s'éclaircit. Elles passent même une nuit ensemble avec la bénédiction de leurs familles, sachant que ça aidera chacune. Mais rien n'est dit encore à ce stade, on reste à fond dans les non-dits et c'est un peu frustrant de ne pas vraiment savoir les sentiments de Kanon. Heureusement que le reste des relations, notamment celles de Kanon à sa famille, sont très bien travaillés et finement décrites pour évoquer le rapport au handicap dans les familles concernées. Ça j'apprécie vraiment.
Belle amitié romantique entre filles sous fond de handicap, la série est protéiforme. Elle aborde avec sensibilité et justesse le champ du handicap dans ces différents aspect. Et elle propose une réflexion sur la peur d'être différent. Mais elle prend aussi beaucoup son temps et ce tome donne le sentiment de nous faire beaucoup attendre. J'espère que le prochain débloquera pas mal de choses.

Saki, post cinema con Kanon, incontra una parrucchiera che la vorrebbe come modella per cambiargli look.
Saki accetta e durante il taglio ascolta una storia riguardo una sua amica che frequentava una scuola con sole ragazze e si era legata romanticamente a un'altra ragazza, la storia tra le due però è finita male e la parrucchiera riflette su quanto l'amore possa fare male ma non è mai un errore.
Saki conosce il padre di Kanon, un direttore di orchestra che lavora in Germania, che gli racconta di quanto abbia fatto breccia sulla figlia, solita a fare fatica nei rapporti. Rinne chiede a Saki se può ospitare la sorella.
Kanon passa una giornata lieta a casa di Saki, le due dormono anche insieme, segno che ormai sono veramente molto vicine.
Saki , dopo aver saputo che farà una esibizione di piano, conosce anche una vecchia amica di Kanon, Ayano.
Ayano avverte Saki che i problemi che stando accanto a una persona sorda, è difficile poi dare il giusto peso ai problemi personali poiché sarebbe inevitabile fare il paragone con quelli di Kanon in questo caso.
La storia prende sempre più forma, Kanon e Saki fanno progressi. Saki è sempre più portata a una responsabilizzazione nel rapportarsi a Kanon, soprattutto tramite i personaggi secondari.

Yeah... so I think I'm going to have to take a pause on this series for now. I was bored for most of this and then the ending put a bad taste in my mouth. Like, I'm so sorry that knowing a deaf person made your life hard but maybe get over yourself and don't blame everything on her??? Yeah, it's not the storyline for me.

Este tomo me pareció espectacular. Si bien está más que nada centrado en Saki y en sus sentimientos, ampliamos un poco más el mundo de Kanon y conocemos a su papá; con esto entran en juego nuevas situaciones que vienen con el hecho de que Kanon sea sorda, así como también da cosas a que pensar, ¿está bien actuar como si nada pasara a pesar de que sí pasa en un intento de aferrarse a una vida normal y que nadie se sienta desplazado?
Por otro lado, también me gustó mucho cómo se están desarrollando los sentimientos de Saki. A pesar de haberse vuelto cercana a Kanon, no todo es color de rosa. La última parte del tomo me dejó con muchas ganas de leer el que sigue.
Las escenas del día a día son un plus, por ejemplo el tema del cine (cuando Kanon explica cómo es que ella sigue disfrutando de las pelis y qué cosas se pierde). Me encanta este manga, creo que va a acabar convirtiéndose en uno de mis yuris favoritos.

Many manga does the trope of a friend coming over to your place and they get to be in your personal space and this volume captures it well especially with the cover art. As the reader, you can clearly recognise the innocence and uncertainty of our protagonist as Saki can only attempt to sort out her feelings for Kanon and the conversation beginning and ending on a cliffhanger at the end of the volume is melancholic between her and Ayano was necessary to not only move forward the plot in understanding the past of Kanon, but provide insight to the reason why her previous friend ended up hurting her despite their close nature. I'm enjoying the read.

Y suponiendo que mi lógica de los volúmenes es correcta en este se centra en la presentación de la hermana menor de Kanon, Rinne, y su sobreprotección con ella (se le enchoró(? a Saki y todo xd). Lo que conlleva que Saki quiera alejarse de Kanon y Kanon no pesque el intento de alejamiento, Saki más lesbiana que nunca cede y sigue con ella xd MUY IMPORTANTE, mientras buscan a Rinne luego de una pataleta, SE TOMAN DE LA MANITO!!

4 stars. The ending was so abrupt and rude! What the hell? I need volume four immediately! Saki and her gay panic, Saki and Kanon having a sleep over with only one bed, meeting Kanon’s dad, and other big things happened. There was a lot packed into this volume and I loved it. This series is just so damn good and I adore it so much.

Slow burn Yuri romance that focuses on the difficulties of being disabled and building relationships between disabled and non-disabled people. Additionally an interesting portrayal of the struggle of internalized homophobia and the difficult process of coming out. Beautiful art & well written dialogue with well developed characters. A flagship of the Genre.
