Yubisaki to Renren

I fell in love with this anime. The main couple is so cute and honestly I dont need more.
Some people like to think that the dudes are creeps in shojos animes. But let be honest some people really met in the train. And instant crush exist for real.
I believe that Itsuomi didnt have the best approach at first with Yuki. But I believe that its the point because its the first time his meeting a deaf person. And as the anime is going, he learns not only to do sign langage but also to respect her more and more.
I love them both ... with the fact that there are learning about love and communication, they are really patient with each other.
But I can understand that this anime is not for everyone.
And for me, its a 10/10 😍

The romance between the MCs doesn't feel believable. It's more so about a deaf girl who falls for the first guy who shows consideration for her disability. At first, you'd think Itsuomi's behavior is "unique" just because he adjusts to her situation (e.g., lip reading, texting, etc.). But after a few episodes, you realize that anyone can do that. Itsuomi isn't anything special. He's just the first hot guy who gives her a fraction of attention. Then Yuki instantly falls for him and thinks he's her entire world. Instead of navigating problems on her own (e.g., independent thinking, managing communication barriers, etc.), she just lets ... Itsuomi do all that for her. The whole relationship is based on Yuki's one-sided affection and dependence towards Itsuomi. And Itsuomi being this "perfect" pretty boy who thinks it's okay to invade her personal space because she has hearing issues. Look, I understand she's deaf. But for a girl he just met, bro is way too touchy. A simple tap on the shoulder or a hand wave is sufficient to get her attention. You don't grab the persons chin or get close to their face. A lot of what Itsuomi does doesn't feel romantic or wholesome. It feels more like a forced romance trope from a wattpad story, or a K-Drama. It often stems from Yuki's embellishment of Itsuomi's actions as something "romantic" or "chivalrous." As opposed to what the audience sees as the bare-minimum. Itsuomi doesn't treat her like this person he wants to understand. He treats her like this curious oddity he found at a gift shop, and he's trying to figure out how it works. They try to paint Itsuomi as this "nice" guy who gets along with everybody. But in reality, he just comes off as this apathetic douche who likes to inflate his own ego. You'd think Itsuomi texting Yuki with "do you want? or do you not?" is asking for consent. But in reality, a lot of what he does is "act first, apologize, then ask for consent later." It's total bs and Yuki is totally comfortable with all of it. She never gets mad at him and she rarely establishes boundaries. She just lets him do whatever he wants and she just goes along with whatever he does. Oushi was 100% in the right to suspect this guy. This is one of those shows where the childhood bestfriend is more preferable to the supposed love interest. The show also uses JSL so the gestures won't be very useful unless you live in Japan. Plus, a lot of the dialogue is split between text bubbles and lip reading anyway. There is virtually no conflict in this show. Everytime there's a heavy scene or a serious moment, it gets offset with chibi-comic relief. It has those heavy moments but the show never takes them seriously. Furthermore, the side characters' relationships are more interesting than the MCs. I was more invested in the backstories of the side characters than whatever Itsuomi and Yuki were doing. Overall, it's an okay watch if you don't mind unrealistic romance stories. This anime is less about sign language and navigating communication barriers. It's more about Yuki's dependence and gross infatuation towards this guy she met on the train.

I have never watched a more bland romance in my life and i have watched so many dumb things.
ML womanizer who makes moves/flirts in ways literal harassers do.
This just tells me '' if you are good looking and hot you can get away with literal harassment '' like bro you barely know her keep ur hands to yourself stop being so damn creepy.
FL is literally 19 and acts like she has 10. 0 Personality not only for her but for all characters. Bland. Bland. Bland.
I dont even want to comment on the childhood friend my guy is a insecure bihh whos a "tsundere" ... type. The only cute and good quality he has is that he learned sign language for the FL.
Her being deaf is literally a plot point insted of being a character trait.
The author does not know how relationships work ig? Because if he did who in his right mind would write something like this?
Expected a mature romance and got this disaster that i regret even wasting my time on.
