Ain't this just a copy of A silent voice?
| @jtredenick No the story is completely different. Silent Voice is a coming of age story wherelse this one is a pure romance. |
| That was a sweet first episode, specially that ending scene. That caught me offguard a bit, so adorable. So are they dating now? Hoping the best for Rin chan too, she's a great girl. This looked so pretty btw, the artstyle/visuals really suits the story. Yuki looks like Rinko from Ore Monogatari and is sweet like her too. OP/ED were both nice. Was looking forward to this as I heard lots of good stuff about it. So far the first episode was pretty good. Liked the setting and stuff even though it's mostly typical shoujo stuff. Hope it'll turn out to be a good romance. |

@ZXEAN so 40 chapter is not enough to make 24 eps?
| @kisaragi_eki If they adapt 2+ chapters per episodes then NO. |
| This is very cute, and I like to see a disabled MC, since that's pretty rare. I'm a bit iffy with one of the dude's lines on the train, and the surprise touches, but otherwise it's fairly fluffy. This also reminded me that I need to find a good Swedish Sign Language app to learn it, since my grandma is starting to lose her hearing. I'll have to try to keep an eye out for what difrferences in JSL and SSL there are, through this anime and learning for myself. |

| Really liked this opening episode Yuki is so adorable and lovable |
| peak shoujo and the best romance of the season is finally here!! i haven't been this excited for an anime since fall 2022 and this first episode didn't disappoint. reading the manga already made me feel warm inside and experiencing it in anime format again did the same. opening is beautiful and i'm loving the osts, although i'm not sure if i've seen anything else from this studio so i'm worried about whether the visual quality will drop or not but so far so good. yuki is so cute and itsuomi's deadpan faces are jokes. excited for more positive vibes and i hope the rest of this adaptation goes well. this is definitely gonna be the show i look forward to the most every week this season. |
 |
| That was beautiful episode to watch, Yuki is so adoreable. |
 |
| These two are so fucking cute together! And holy shit Itsuomi is the god of rizz This has potential to be the best romance anime of the season, maybe even the year if it holds up, and likely will become one of my favorites |
  |
| This guy aiming to be penta-lingual, I half-expected Yuki and Rin's clapping to gradually shift from genuinely impressed to *dude are you trying too hard* XD I love the character designs! It's something that anime featuring college-aged students have over high school and office demographics: no uniforms (or suits that function as uniforms), more opportunities to show off characters' unique styles. Like aahh those scarves ^^ |

They were cute and look like the romance is purest thing, but i have to say how can the guy be overly familiar to her, or am i delusional. Also she fall in love in first meeting is the most shoujo thing ever.
| @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 |

| Extremely pretty anime all around. The first 5-6 minutes were an incredible intro IMO and the best part of the episode, got me goosebumps. Great sound design. |
| My diabetes <3 Not too anything deep, their relationship is just so sweet and what carries this series IMHO as a manga reader. |
| It seems a nice little romantic series. The build-up of their relationship was a bit too fast for me, but let's see where it is going. |

| So far it seems nice but my Japanese reading isn't good enough to follow what they were talking about, luckily they were not only talking true text so i could follow some of what was going on. I like Yuki's inner dialog tho. |
| Peak romance anime of this season is here. |
| A silent voice : university edition (he's not a former bully though) I hope they add translations for the sign language |
 |
In a series that heavily relies on chats, it's so impractial to put the translation between or behind the japanese words instead on top/bottom. I've never seen it done like this.  So watching it with english subs it is. They are doing it the right way. But other than that, I really like this one and I'm so ready to cry in the future. Plus points for having it play in university. |
| A silent voice but this time the heroine entering a romance with a passport bro gigachad. If anything, it teaches us if you don't look like a male character drawn by a shoujo manga artist (tipically female author) then you have no hope in romance and you get the girl on episode 1. I'll give it 3 episodes if it doesn't exceed my expectations or is as good as a silent voice then drop. |
| Well, that was the best first episode of the season, so far. I expected this one to be pretty good though, so no surprises there really. I didn't expect to already like the male MC so much. That is a good thing because when Yuki's friend said she had someone she liked too, my brain couldn't help but jump immediately to yuri, haha. The male lead being likable helped soften the blow of hearing those words while knowing this isn't a yuri story. |

| @ZXEAN dude is grabbing her head and getting all up in her personal space in the first minute they meet, then repeats the same thing later. If you don't see how that's creepy, then I'm worried for you |

| @felixsifuri I might be different from you guys because I found that part really cute. He didn't do anything to take advantage of the girl moreover he is very eager to help her seeing her disability. |
