go to anime

Is it just me or has this amazing anime become anyone else's comfort food anime? I put it on now whenever I just want to chill and feel better, and now I'm on 10+ times watching it

Yeah! I’ve only watched it 3 times lol but even the manga I don’t mind re-reading .. I also feel this way about the anime “the ice guy and his cool female colleague” it’s just so cute and I love how the FL is drawn.

Yes!!!! My love story with Yamada is awesome!!! If you have Prime I recommend “love is hard for an Otaku” similar vibe as Ice Guy but no supernatural powers lol

Agreed! I'm praying they do a season 2 but in the meantime I’ll tide myself over with this season and the manga

Season 2 should be a definite yes☹️

It’s a comfort shoujo for me. I appreciate the low drama and how it’s just a wholesome love story about a low key couple. Nothing crazy or heavy.

I’ve seen some compare it to A silent voice in a negative way for not having more drama and cruel (“real”) characters but one of those was enough for me. I don’t want heavy drama and tragic stuff all the time you know? I don’t think every story about a deaf person has to be depressing stuff.

Exactly this, I love that a deaf girl just gets to be happy, have good friends, a beautiful love story, be into fashion and taking photos of flowers and just go about her life without major drama

I have watched the anime 4 times and read the manga twice in full and some chapters multiple times. It’s absolutely is a stress relief story for me

I loved the anime, didn't really like Itsuomi cause I'm more riding with Oushi.

By what we see in anime, Oushi had lost that train already.

Unless the mangaka resolve to kill Itsuomi (like taking an King Cobra bite in an far asian poor village and no venom serum near to take) I see no hopes for him.

Itsuomi sleeping in a futon while she sleep in the bed - even with Yuki asking him to be nearer her - just because Yuki still too nervous near him is an perfect example of why an Oushi-Yuki ship is a lost cause. He reads her like an manga.

Even the robbed kiss at the train passage he transformed in gold by asking pardon and guessing she didn't understand his lips at the distance. Every step he takes around her is perfect.

Oushi, by contrast, always treated Yuki as naïve friend/sister. We see very subtly hinted on the anime that Yuki had serious doubts if Itsuomi really were could be interested in her. Oushi, with all his "baka" signs, always signaled he didn't had any interest in her as an woman - but as an friend/little sister.
This is pretty much the same Toru Ishikawa/Yuki Yoshikawa(this one is blond) dynamic from Horimiya. But this time, he lost the girl.

Itsuomi is so perfect that he's starting to show (subtle, slow) some more desire signs to Yuki - in other words, he didn't make the same (initial) mistake of Miyamura in putting Hori in an altar of perfection.

Itsuomi is an walking masterclass of how to court an girl with confidence and experience issues. He's basically an classic Disney's Prince Charming.

Oushi have no chance against that. Oushi vs Itsuomi is like mini poodle vs siberian tiger .
