She has lived in the same place her whole life, and rarely interacts with others save for her best friend, Rin Fujishiro. During her commute one day, she meets the silver-haired and multilingual Itsuomi Nagi, a mutual friend of Rin. Unlike most, Itsuomi is unwavering when he learns of Yuki's impairment; this, along with his experiences abroad, fascinates and touches her. After they part, her fondness of him starts to grow. A new world begins to open for both Yuki and Itsuomi as they learn about each other's different lives.

STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| This series is pretty wholesome from what I've read. PV looks good too. |
| One of the most popular and critically acclaimed new gen shoujo manga is getting an anime adaptation and moreover it looks beautiful. I will definitely watch it. |
| What's the deal with so many shoujo manga getting adaptation? Not that I'm complaining. Quite the opposite. I've heard this one is critically acclaimed and similar to Koe no Karachi. |
 |
| Get ready everyone... we are about to witness peak romance... |
| I seem to have missed the moment when romantic comedies made the leap from milking melodrama out of the lives of people with health issues to soft romance with well-deserved representation.

RobertBobert said: I think shoujo as a demographic isn't that popular as compared to shounen or seinen when it's come to anime, may be that's the reason.

| I read like 20+ chapters and found that it's just a typical shojo manga with tons of drama but with disablility twist. MC is particularly unlikeable due to consistently trying to avoid responsiblity. I can get why shojo readers like this type of dreamy MC but nope for me though. Might check it out when release. |

| Great news! Shojo with good premise and interesting characters! I hope for two seasons! |

| Oh, this is finally getting an adaptation too. I've only read the first volume and put it on-hold because (just based on the first volume) it made me a little uncomfortable and I didn't really like the male lead. But I'll still watch it, who knows if the adaptation will get me back into reading the manga~ |
 |
| But it isn't really necessary for male mc's to have such a stoic personality in these kind of shows, right? |

Softhenic03 said: But it isn't really necessary for male mc's to have such a stoic personality in these kind of shows, right? Of course not. On the contrary, I like more funny and light-hearted guys in such works. |
|
| I heard good things about this one so hopefully will be a good watch. |
 |
| I'm glad shoujo anime is making more of a comeback especially with this one being one of the ones that deserve an adaptation the most. The PV looks great, let us hope for decent staff and even more shoujo adaptations. Adapt more 2000s manga already!!! |

| bruh why the artstyle so shit tho D: was like one of the best parts about the series. anywho looking forward to see how they handle this. This is definitely a more atmospheric series and the studio doesn't really have the best track record so idk what to expect. va's aren't too bad picks either. itsuomi's voice fit's nicely, yuki's i think a more minase inori style would've fit her better but eh |

Short_Circut said: Animation relies heavily on the complexity of character design, so anime often oversimplifies it or makes character designs too simple in the face of overly cool backgrounds or visuals in general. Take a look at Akebi-chan's sailor fuku. The backgrounds are still god-like, but they downgraded design of the manga characters a lot to animate it all.bruh why the artstyle so shit tho D: was like one of the best parts about the series. anywho looking forward to see how they handle this.

Hopefully In the clear of moonlit dusk, Honey lemon soda, Queen's quality, Bokura no kiseki, etc are next Softhenic03 said: For some reason, the Japanese find this type of personality very attractive. If you pay attention, almost all the stereotypically super good looking characters have a temperament like they're rehearsing Shakespeare.But it isn't really necessary for male mc's to have such a stoic personality in these kind of shows, right? |

| @Short_Circut Sad that you didn't like the art but I don't really have any problem. Moreover I am surprised it looks this good considering it's made my a lesser known studio Ajia-do. |

I don't care what rating you give, this is still my favorite
| @yuzukoikotaro Seems like you care more than you should by creating a new account just for this series and reviving a dead thread just to do some ad hominem attack lmao |

12 episodes only, I hoped for 24-26 though, very sad: https://twitter.com/SugoiBingus/status/1734543735843962904 |
