Sagawa Taiichi is a good-natured but impetuous college student who falls (literally) into the life of Sugihara Kouhei, a law student with a bad reputation due to his hearing disability. They agree to trade note-taking for lunches, and soon they become closer and Taichi gets Kouhei to laugh again, gradually opening him back up. But as they continue through school, jobs, and relationships, it can feel like everything is pulling them apart. A longer but very well written story about a pure love between two boys who seem to complete each other. I think the author went to a lot of effort to develop strong characters and to depict hearing impairment and deafness from multiple perspectives, and it shows. Trigger warning: discrimination.
