While Fujinaga's talent is finally garnering him some public recognition, his worries and loneliness begin to eat him up from the inside. Can the special language he and Keito share form a bridge between them and help him resolve his frustrations?
For Keito and Fujinaga, sign language will light the way along their journey of self-discovery and bind them together as nothing else can.

I love how both of them are struggling with their own problems, yet still find it in themselves to care so genuinely for each other. Their love for communication really shines in both their dreams and their everyday lives. And I really like how the story highlights their little habits, the subtle differences in how they connect with the world, and how you can see them trying to learn and adapt to each other along the way. It feels so intimate and tender, watching Aoi and Keito people meet halfway like that.

Дуже мила історія про двох дуже гарних хлопців, один з яких не чує. Скоро перший том вийде українською, обовʼязково буду купувати!

Vol. 1 ★★☆☆☆
Compared to Vol. 1, this is more rooted in reality. Fujinaga is focused on his play, whereas Keito is adjusting to life without him. Not gonna lie, it's kind of off-putting to see the leads separated so early on. While absence makes the heart grow fonder, we've barely spent time with these characters or seen them interact with each other. This arc would've been more impactful if it happens later in the series. That said, I like chapter 8, which captures Keito's disorientation in new environments. I appreciate how the letterer uses typography to depict the extent of which Keito can make out what people are saying, from type set at half opacity for what he can sort of understand to scribbles for what he can't.

I do this slowed down the romance but I think it’s about becoming a better version of yourself so that you can be the person you want to for your partner. I liked it and hate that we have to wait so long for the next one!!

I loved LOVED this second volume - I didn't know if I remembered enough of the first volume but I was pulled right in. I love all the theatre stuff as well. The art is very expressive which goes so well with the concept.

C’est vrmnt très mimi supplément pédagogique vis à vis de la surdité. Si vous avez aimé A sign of affection c’est un peu la même idée mais on se concentre plus sur s’exprimer avec l’entièreté du corps que par diverses langues et c’est hyper intéressant !
+ la partie théâtre est aussi très cool je pense qu’on va aborder plein de choses différentes dans les tomes qui suivent

I don't really understand how their relationship is still undefined when they've both said they like each other, and kiss multiple times in this volume. But I suppose they haven't sat down and literally said "let's date," so that's on hold until after Fujinaga's play is over.
There's a big shift in this volume to the acting side of things, really showcasing Fujinaga's audition, rehearsals, and the opening night of his play. And I like that! I was incredibly skeptical of his acting abilities, but this volume did a great job of finally showing what's appealing about his acting and what makes him a little bit different from other people - and in need of a director and casting agents who get how to work into his skills.
Kind of weirdly, this entire manga-adaptation-play seems to have been developed for him? That irritates his better-known costar a bit, but Lem also recognizes Fujinaga's talent and seems to genuinely like him. I'm not getting love triangle vibes just yet, but I am enjoying him as a character.
Keito kind of takes a backseat, with Lem calling him "a charity case," much to Fujinaga's dismay, with a stronger sense of isolation because he can't experience Fujinaga's acting in the same way hearing people can. The scene with him standing in a room unable to hear Fujinaga singing was pretty powerful.
What's good about his character is that you never feel a sense of victimizing or...how to say it...I feel like a lot of the manga I've read with characters who are Deaf, in wheelchairs, etc, come across very ableist in their depictions, leaning into fetishization that tends to make me kind of uncomfortable. Keito's treated the same way as any other character would be, with his Deafness as simply an important part of him that impacts how he interacts with the world.
When it comes to sign language, I liked how Fujinaga put it...he wasn't trying to learn sign language for any Do-Gooder type reasons. He just wanted to communicate with Keito in his own language. Which puts a whole different spin on it, because he's approaching their communication barrier the same way he would if he was dating a foreigner and needing to learn English or French or whatever else to fully understand them. I think that's a neat way of looking at it.
I liked this volume a lot more than the first one, and feel like it's found its footing here. Looking forward to more.

Encore une fois quelle jolie série sur la surdité mais pas que ! C’est une rencontre magnifique entre deux belles personnages qu’on prend grand plaisir à suivre.
En plus, les volumes sont épais, alors on en a pour notre argent et c’est super chouette d’avoir autant à lire. Fujinaga et Keito se sont déclarés leurs sentiments mais ce n’est que le début. Et alors qu’on aurait pu s’attendre à un tome centré sur leurs sentiments et relation de couple naissante, l’autrice fait un tout autre choix.
J’ai adoré qu’on se concentre sur la passion de Fujinaga pour le théâtre et les interférences que ses sentiments pour Keito peuvent avoir mais qu’il surmonte. Après tant d’années à se retrouver relégué au second plan parce que trop doué et faisant de l’ombre aux autres, il trouve enfin lors d’une audition, un autre acteur à la hauteur de son talent et cela change tout. Certes, on est un peu au pays des Bisounours tant tout semble facile pour lui, mais c’est un bonheur de le voir enfin s’épanouir pleinement dans ce qu’il aime et d’oser montrer l’étendue de son talent.
Appréciant depuis toujours Glass no Kamen/Laura ou la passion du théâtre, je n’ai pu que trouver un écho ici. Et je dois dire que les dessins très vaporeux et félins de l’autrice viennent sublimer le tout par une mise en scène rendant à merveille la fascination qu’il procure à ceux qui le voient jouer. Alors certes, cela prend le pas sur la romance. Il ne se passe pas grand-chose pour celle-ci dans ce tome… Mais on apprécie vraiment ces instants uniques et encore plus quand il cherche un moyen de le partager avec Keito, lui qui est d’office repoussé hors des salles de théâtre à cause de son handicap. J’adore qu’on pense à l’association des deux pour faire progresser acting et monde des sourds.
Comme en plus tout n’est qu douceur et bienveillance, on se régale ! L’autrice ne cherche pas le mélodrame à tout prix et au contraire offre une place privilégiée à la simplicité, à l’authenticité, au simple quotidien. Quel bonheur de suivre des garçons sans prise de tête. Leurs moments à deux ne sont que plus mignons. Et pourtant, on n’est pas dans du 100% fleur bleue, les désirs s’expriment plutôt bien. Mais leur gentillesse transpire de partout et rend tout plus adorable. J’aimerais justement maintenant un peu plus de scènes pour développer leurs relation et sentiments.
Je valide encore une fois à 100% la série qui est train de détrôner Hidamari ga kikoeru pour moi qui est trop tombée dans le mélodrame à l’excès et l’histoire qui tourne en rond. Finalement en faisant un mini pas de côté avec la romance pour s’attarder sur l’épanouissement personnel de l’un d’eux, l’autrice nous offre des pages fascinantes sur le théâtre et parvient subtilement à évoquer le quotidien d’une personne malentendante par exemple lors des spectacles, mais pas que. Un vrai ravissement !

Ich hatte kurz die Befürchtung, dass Band 2 nicht mit dem großartigen Auftakt mithalten kann, aber das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Er knüpft nahtlos an & verzaubert genauso wie der erste Teil. Fujinaga & Keito sind so rücksichtsvoll und sanft im Umgang miteinander, dass man sich sofort ein zweites Mal in die beiden verliebt. Besonders spannend ist die Frage, wie man sich in einer Beziehung verhält, die noch gar nicht richtig definiert ist und wie vorsichtig beide in Bezug auf Nähe und Intimität sind.
Besonders schön finde ich aber die visuelle Umsetzung: Die Darstellung nonverbaler Kommunikation ist nicht nur ästhetisch, sondern auch zutiefst emotional. Man spürt jede Nuance, jede Unsicherheit, jedes unausgesprochene Gefühl und schwebt förmlich durch die Seiten.
Das Setting hebt sich von klassischen Liebesgeschichten ab. Hier gibt es nicht nur Romantik, sondern auch die Einbindung von Inklusion, Wahrnehmung und den Herausforderungen, die mit einer Hörbeeinträchtigung einhergehen. Die Geschichte zeigt, wie wichtig nonverbale Kommunikation ist und welche Tiefe darin liegt.
Die emotionale Bandbreite und Charakterentwicklung sind ebenfalls bemerkenswert. Fujinaga kämpft mit Selbstzweifeln, Absagen und der Schwierigkeit, sich über Sprache auszudrücken. Keito wiederum muss mit Unsicherheit, Diskriminierung und inneren Konflikten umgehen. Gerade diese persönlichen Hürden und ihr gegenseitiges Unterstützen machen die Reihe besonders. Es geht um Mut, Selbstvertrauen, Akzeptanz und darum, über sich hinauszuwachsen.
Für mich ist Sag’s mit den Händen ein einzigartiges Werk, das berührt und inspiriert.

This is not just a Sunspot copy cat as I’ve seen people refer to it. This is its own series and this volume did a really great job fleshing both of our main characters out, which I felt was needed. Why should I care about their relationship with each other if I don’t care about them individually? There was parts of the story that I personally found to drag for a bit hence the 4 instead of 5 star rating. I will say if you’re looking for a wholesome BL this is the series for you.

I love this series with my whole heart.
Especially in this volume it's showing me how narrow-minded my view was, on how the deaf 'hear'. The way they ended up helping Keito 'hear' during Aoi's play was so cool!! I'll definitely be looking into it more, and other ways of accessibility for the hard of hearing.
Thank you to the author for making this series♡♡♡!!!
I'll definitely be picking up vol.3 once it comes out (*≧ω≦)

Me and Him. In a library, talking away from everyone else.
Him whispering into my ear, even in a dream… I can’t hear his voice, but I can still feel the warmth of his breath, the vibrations of the air.
Those things are certainly there, and even if it’s JUST those things..
I wish I could have them all for myself.

This manga's art work was wonderful. It is a slow build with in the relationship and I appreciate that they both grow as characters as well as in their relationship. Also I appreciate one of the ML being deaf and the book showing how that can affect a person in unseen ways.

Mantengo todo lo que sentí en el primer volumen, muchas historias con un magnífico primer volumen suelen para mi gusto decaer en el segundo pero este no fue el caso, sigue siendo igual o más precioso

Such a cute volume, really adds a lot to the relationship built in volume 1. I like these two together a lot they’re so fun and earnest. Loved the surprise kiss in the first chapter, that made me giggle and kick my feet lol

Great second volume to the first I loved so much. Lots more about our characters separately than as a pair, but I appreciated that aspect.
October 9, 2025
One of the best BLs I know

I think like the author really didn’t focus on the couple so much in this one, which like it’s a ROMANCE, and had a very abrupt ending. Eh

The story is lovely but I’d read this series just for the art—it’s beautiful~
