crispicheva's manga / #slice of life(2)

storyline: yuu is a former delinquent who had an accident and lost sight in one of his eyes. kenji, his classmate, is deaf since birth. they bond over their disabilities and a sense of kinship, and navigate through life and their traumas together review: wholesome ig although i expected shounen ai, idk why. however, kenji's mother simply seemed like a flat character created to bring some drama to the story like why tf would you hate your own kid so much because he's deaf?? didn't click for me

storyline: tasuku, a closeted gay high school boy, is having a hard time at school because of his sexuality. once he's considering ending his life, he meets anonymous, a mysterious woman who owns a lounge up on the hill. at that lounge, tasuku meets different people, with different life stories, self-expressions, and sexualities, and finds his place among his people. review: this was so lovely... the character dynamics, every character's intentions and motivations... everything fit together perfectly into a beautiful story of self-choice, introspection, and self-love and acceptance.
