A Sign of Affection

I'm only 3 episodes in so far, but this is really good. It's nice to see a wholesome romance that's not In high school. Assuming this review is still up when the series finishes, my opinion stands.

Anyway, it's so cute. It's already up there with my favorites.

The art is very nice, and the show does a good job with allowing us to understand the sign language.

My only nitpick this the use of the "overprotective childhood best friend" trope, but it seems like that could be solved soon.

Back to positives, the character design is great, and it's not super fanservicey.

TLDR: it's super wholesome and pretty, give it a shot.

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 love the animation style. I like the premise, about a deaf girl and how she falls in love. But I feel that everything was too predictable. She liked the guy from ep 1, and you could tell he liked her too. The guy is portrayed handsome and perfect in every way, doing everything a girl would like in a cliche way (think of Edward in Twilight) to the point that he seems to have no depth in character.

I was interested in seeing the struggles of a deaf person, more of their worldview, but that was not explored too much, just in the background.

The main character Yuki is not shown to have any interests, hopes, goals, or thoughts that are not related to the guy she likes, Itsuomi. All she is shown thinking is focused on how the guy makes her feel, what she likes about him and how this is new to her. They don't even mention what she studies or much about her family and other relationships, or any personal struggles which made the story too shallow, her character too childish, and the love story not interesting.

I was more interested in the stories of the supporting characters, which were shown to be more complex, afraid of showing feelings or not knowing how to handle them, things that happened in their past, and we see them overcoming things. This made me relate to Oushi more, and made me think that if the story had been focused on him, his struggles and him liking and pursuing Yuki, it would have been more interesting.

Overall, it's somewhat entertaining, sweet, and the animation a joy to watch, but a little boring in the story.

For a more interesting and beautiful anime about a guy meeting a deaf girl and their struggles watch the movie A Silent Voice. I cried with that one.

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.

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.
