"i won't apologize to you for meeting me...i will treasure you all the more for it. this is what i wanted to tell you more than anything else. i want you... to rely on me more. yuki. i love you."

* 5⭐️0🌶️
* Aside from the first volume this one was absolutely amazing!! I am so sad that I have to wait for vol 12! This book heavily featured itsuami and his past and why he is who he is, what shaped him and who his role model is. Also a big feeling is spoken and I screamed with giddiness. I love this manga series so much!
* Yuki, a deaf college student, and her developing relationship with Itsuomi, a friend of a friend who is a world traveler. The series explores their communication challenges, as Itsuomi doesn't know sign language initially, and the sweet, natural progression of their romance as they learn to understand each other. The manga also delves into the supporting characters and their own romantic entanglements, making it a heartwarming and engaging story of love and connection.

In mourning over the loss of itsuomi’s black hair 😔🫡

[DianaRose · Rating 5 out of 5]

another beautiful and emotional volume, but why the hell was itsuomi talking to a whole grown man on the internet as a child😭 that rubbed me the wrong way

[Jessica ❀ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Itsuomi, the man that you are. 😭😭😭

[Paula (lovebookscl) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oushi ;-; me da penita

Y el pat pat de Itsuomi con toda la gente que siente que debe proteger ;-;

La historia de Soan me tuvo en LÁGRIMAS. Y su carta me dejó mal, es tan trágico.

4.5 ⭐️
Une histoire d'une douceur inouïe, qui m'a donné envie d'apprendre la langue des signes. Hâte de lire la suite !

[Xanna Renae · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved getting more backstory! I did sob, a lot, but it’s so sooooo good. 5/5 easily. Sad that the afterward kinda confirms the anime isn’t currently slated to get a second season—such is shojo. Can’t wait for volume 12! 🥰❤️

[ProseAndPetals · Rating 4 out of 5]

[라우라 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ahora ya estoy al día con este manga, y quiero decir que lo disfruté de principio a fin (fin hasta que se publique el siguiente volumen).

Yo conocí esta historia por el estreno del anime, vi el trailer antes de que se estrenara y estuve ahí desde el capítulo 1 viendo todos los episodios en emisión. Me gustó tanto la estética y la historia que sabía que iba a leer el manga en algún momento, y así ha sido.

La pareja que hacen Yuki e Itsuomi es preciosísima, los shippeo un montón. Yo creo que yo en una relación literalmente sería Yuki porque es que es súper tímida y le daban vergüenza muchas cosas. Lo bonita que es, no puedo, quiero protegerla de todo lo que pase😭 Me encanta lo bien representado que está el hecho de que Yuki sea sorda, está súper normalizado pero a la vez te va enseñando cosas del lenguaje de signos, me encanta.

Si la pareja principal es todo romance cute y tímido, la pareja secundaria que se va formando es literalmente tu amiga la social y tu amigo el social siendo novios, me encantaban también. Y la otra pareja que se está formando creo que también tiene potencial aunque van bastante más lentos.

El único personaje que no me gustaba era Oushi. Lo siento pero odio el cliché del mejor amigo de la infancia enamorado de la protagonista que solo se confiesa cuando la protagonista consigue novio. Tuviste tu momento de confesarte, ya es tarde.

Por lo que he visto, la autora va a ritmo de 2 volúmenes al año, así que imagino que a finales de este año debería publicarse el volumen 12 para ver cómo sigue avanzando todo!!

Currently on chapter 45. I love the character dynamic, just said with how slowly the chapters come out

[❀boa · Rating 5 out of 5]

that's it the series ends with them becoming a throuple i said it.

[Tree ✶.˚⟡ ࣪ ⋆ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Itsuomi’s backstory made this manga so much deeper. I have so much more respect for the author.

[MAG Scrittrice · Rating 4 out of 5]

Questo volume tratta un tema molto importante. Benché non abbia un'alta credibilità che un bambino di 8 anni prenda tanto a cuore la fame nel mondo (è ancora nella fase di egocentrismo), si attiva il "perché no?" pensando a un animo davvero molto sensibile. Ho storto la bocca quando l'ho visto in video-chiamata con un adulto senza un accenno al monitoraggio da parte dei genitori. Tutto il racconto di Itsuomi è stato tanto bello quanto triste.
Tuttavia, ormai da qualche numero non mi sento più coinvolta dalla storia. Forse mi fermo qui.

yuki ed itsuomi i miei prediletti 🫶🏻🫶🏻
questo volume è stato di una dolcezza infinita, per non parlare della storia strappalacrime dell'infanzia di itsuomi.

5 ⭐ e anche di più, mio shojo manga preferito !!

Goddammit. I have my issues with this manga series but this volume had me crying 😭

[shelby (shelbyreadssmut) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ll just never not be in love with Itsu

Logging manga I read on my phone/kindle feels like cheating but this was a physical copy so 😋

[Haley Hernández · Rating 5 out of 5]

SO PRECIOUS. We see more of Itsoumi’s story and ✨FINALLY✨ learn what his tattoo means. Oushi has quite a bit of character development and shows some emotional maturity with his friends. Overall this volume was wonderful and I can’t wait until volume 12 gets released in December!

BRB GOTTA SOB MY EYES OUT NOW

[Rocío García]

Mmmm me gusta porque entiendo algo mejor a Itsuomi, ahora que sabemos más sobre su pasado.
Sin embargo, el principal problema que tengo con esta obra sigue ahí y no se va ni un poco: absolutamente todo el mundl cruza media palabra con él y es su fan número 1, lo siento, pero el chaval tampoco merece tanto (el suegro literal es fanboy de él). Es una cosa que me saca un poco de quicio porque no es solo que tenga a todo el mundo ganado sin esfuerzo, es que todo el mundo reitera de forma continua que es un tío increíble. Demasiado exagerado.

[Jesse H · Rating 3 out of 5]

Art 10/10 as always
But am I a bad person for being disappointed with Itsuomi’s “deepest secret”
Maybe his story telling of it needed to be longer because I just did not even process it at all
