Later in the volume, the childhood friend makes an appearance. They have a sweet exchange that results in Itsuomi asking to be let into Yuki’s world, which prompts this super sweet reaction from Yuki. Yuki gets a lucky break during an accidentally romantic walk home with Itsuomi and gets the digits. The boy is fine, though, so it’s no surprise. However, she does notice that he is outgoing and that a foreigner even seems to flirt with him. The two friends decide to visit his work, because as luck would have it, Rin has a crush on Itsuomi’s cousin, who also works there.Īlthough Yuki is too shy to ask Itsuomi for his number while he is at work, she appreciates his attentiveness. She tells Yuki that Itsuimi is known for globetrotting. Yuki first learns Itsuomi’s name from her friend Rin-chan. The two don’t actually introduce themselves during this first meeting. Fortunately, he quickly redeems himself when he makes an effort to make sure Yuki can read his lips easily. I won’t lie, I was as nervous as she was when he first said I never met someone like you, and she felt self-conscious as if he were looking at her like an exotic animal. At first, he is unaware that she is deaf, but the encounter ends on a friendly note when he says, “see you later,” when he exits the train. She has a chance meeting with a schoolmate named Itsuomi when a foreigner asks for directions, and he steps in to help her. Our heroine is Yuki, who is deaf and primarily uses sign language to communicate.
Representation that is done respectfully and realistically? You had me at hello darling. Especially within manga, a medium that is so near and dear to my heart. Another very personal reason is I have Cerebral Palsy, and as a disabled or differently-abled person, representation means a lot to me. For one, my best friend recommended it to me, saying that on a scale of 1-10, it was a clear 11. I have finally got my hands on Volume 1 of A Sign of Affection! This review means a lot to me for several reasons.
