This had me from the first moment. It's so friggin beautiful and cute. Already have a serious anime of the season contender.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

This ended up being a lot less serious than the anime OP made it appear and the comedy elements are definitely a plus. Also impressive animation quality from Aija-do. Wish we got the same level for the first 3 seasons of Bookworm.

A great start. Its been a while since I watched a modern day romance so its nice to get back into it with a cute one like this. As far as I remember I've only read/watched three series with hearing impaired MCs so this will be interesting and considering one of my top 5 anime is A Silent Voice I know I'm gonna love this.

The MC in this is adorable. Her jumping up and down towards the end had me grinning so hard. I was a bit distracted by the guy's lips though. Those are big lol. I'll probably get used to it.

Fingers crossed this ends up just being wholesome cuteness throughout but since hearing impairment is involved theres inevitablty gonna be some drama. But I think this is definitely gonna be one of the gems of this season.

From reading the manga to now watching the anime adaptation, they are doing a great job with it! I think I it even more in anime version because I get to see this wonderful series in color and sound it makes it even more enjoyable to me to hear their voices and seeing it all in vibrant color! It's just perfect! I love how adorable Yuki is in her mannerisms. She's such a sweet adorable character. 😊💗💗💗

Nice episode and all, but one thing is really bugging me. Why on earth is she wearing a hearing aid when she can literally hear nothing? Not even the sound of the motor bike coming.

Looks like it’s more wholesome than dramatic, which I tend to avoid (the latter). The first episode was really sweet and I like that there seems to be multiple pairings?

@jumbosan I agree he's being a little bit too familiar with her, but he seems like he might be a little socially inept, so perhaps he just doesn't understand social boundaries. As for falling in love on the first meeting, it's a bit cliche but it isn't far from reality, it happens sometimes especially for someone who's new to the feeling
@coreynj that's explaining thing for a bit then when the foreigner kiss him, he didn't even bat an eyelashes. Maybe cultural differences play into that too. As for falling in love i understand that each is different for everyone. But just for having small talk it kinda underwhelmed and unconvincing. Thanks for replying tho

Nice fluffy first episode. Caught up with the manga and it’s nice to see the good production values here. It’s not my favorite or anything but they’re putting their all into it for sure. Also everyone is beautiful it’s crazy. Good start hope they continue to impress

Personally got bored of it quickly but I can see the appeal for others falling in love with it, have to say the adaptation was fairly good. Suu Morishita's works that I have read in general that I have read just tend to be too slow and dry for my liking that it gets difficult to focus so this didn't click for me. Stuff that generally is fully fluffy-based from the get-go does lose my interest pretty quickly. But I can tell that the adaptation and production values were better than I expected for a start.

People already saying this should have more than 12 episodes. Maybe this is a sign they want to leave material to make more seasons?

@AhmedJafar1 the hearing aid help her to perceive sound/noise a little bit, but can't differentiate the type of sounds and where it coming from. So yeah she wouldn't be able to recognize especially if something come from behind her

Anyway this will be explained more detail in the future episode

Ummm I absolutely love that the color of the words was not black. Just by the OP, I know this shit is gonna be cute af. My heart dropped when he started talking slower/ more articulated so that she could read his lips ahhhh Rockin' Robin... Red Robin? Yum? I was confused for a sec when the foreigners started talking in English. He said wet instead of humid lmaooo I hate that the ML is like do you want to or not? Stooop!! This was such a cute first episode. I'm about to read the entire manga. I'm so excited for the rest of the episodes. Ugh my heart is literally :') that was so fkin cute, I can't.

me parece interesante a pesar de no a ver leído el manga me recodo bastante a la película de A Silent Voice ya que la protagonista de este anime se parece bastante Shouko Nishimiya por el color de pelo y personalidad a pesar de tener el mismo problemas pero en diferente situación espero ver como avanza este anime

Thanks for clarifying. Maybe I should have just waited a little bit.
Yes, I am aware that hearing aid will only help to perceive things a little. I just think that the anime confused me a little by conveying to the viewer that she only hears complete silence whenever they tried to convey how she perceives her surroundings.

Everything from the little details, like Yuki's alarm clock, which is designed for people with hearing problems, from her using little signs to write down things.

When it all goes quiet, you can comprehend what she experiences daily, no sounds, nothing. Hearing her heart beat with her thoughts is something else man.

Nice first episode.

I'm so happy with the adaptation!🥰 The animation was soft & gentle, fitting to the story. There's CGI, but it does blend very well. The sound design is the standout element though. It really puts you in Yuki's world.

Aww, college love blossoming into romance!! But this really puts it in perspective more of how life is so different for the deaf and blind. I'm definitely blessed. I'd think love would be much harder though there's people that are tolerant and open to date individuals with disabilities, might even get more action than people without disabilities.

This is so cute! I haven't ever read the manga, but this first episode is really cute. I really like that it takes place in uni, there aren't enough of those. The art is really pretty too, you can tell that the people that made it had a nice time with it.

The only thing better than anime is anime with snacks.
