1 post | 3 read
Yuki is a college student who's into friends and fashion. She's also deaf. A chance meeting on a train leads to a serious crush... but can it grow into something more? A sweet and touching manga romance from the creator of Shortcake Cake! Yuki, who's always been deaf, is used to communicating with sign language and her phone. But she's not used to English, so when a tourist from overseas asks for directions, she nearly panics...until a handsome stranger steps in to help. His name is Itsuomi, and it turns out he's a friend of a friend. A charismatic globetrotter, Itsuomi speaks three languages, but he's never had a deaf friend. The two feel drawn to each other and plan a date on a romantic winter's night...but Yuki's friend is afraid that she might be setting herself up to get hurt. Could this be something real? Or will these feelings melt away with the snow? From the acclaimed author of Shortcake Cake, the hit shojo series with more than a million copies in print, this new work is full of real-life details about Japanese sign language and living without hearing, and it's sure to please fans of romantic stories like A Silent Voice, Kimi ni Todoke, and Love in Focus!

First attempt at Manga. The sign language being what drew me to it. I've read many books with sign from different cultures: Martha's Vineyard Sign, Aslan, Black sign, ASL, and now Japanese Sign. I find it absolutely fascinating. Attraction being a major theme in this series it's easy to see how facial expressions aren't just for communicating but also big "tells" in terms of holding back words/signs and still presenting as confident and curious.
