A Sign of Affection

Yuki Itose, a hearing-impaired university student, has lived in silence since birth. Her world is quiet and secluded, revolving around her daily commute, her close friendship with Rin Fujishiro, and communication through writing and texts-a routine that rarely changes. Then, during one of her commutes, she meets Itsuomi Nagi, a fellow student who loves traveling and speaks multiple languages. Itsuomi, a friend of Rin, doesn’t treat Yuki’s hearing impairment as a barrier. His effortless acceptance touches her deeply, and from that moment, their lives begin to shift as they slowly open their worlds to each other.
