I binge the whole thing to the latest chapter and this story leaves me in such a warm and cozy bubble that I wish it could keep on going like this. I love how they come to know each other, how their relationship develops, how it's such a realistic and humane way of approaching this barrier of language and communication, how the author clearly cares about the subject matter and wants to give it so much care and love and the depiction and story. The art is not just beautiful but it shows so much dedication and attention to details in the way it's illustrating the sign language and the way the characters interact and move in the frames. I especially love when the POV shifts to Keito and you can actually see the silence in the pages, how everything just quiets down and we don't get sfx for sounds anymore. The smallest details give much substance to the storytelling.
I love both characters, how they struggle with their own problems but come to care for the other person so genuinely. How their love for communication shines through in their dreams and personal lives. How Aoi puts in the effort to breach that physical and also mental barrier in trying to not just communicate but actually understand Keito's perspective and world. I love all the subtle details in habits that separate them as two individuals with vastly different methods of communicating with the world though, and how it shows clear effort in them learning to adapt to the other person. They show attentiveness and a clear sign of affection in the choice they make to be involved with each other. And it's not just their love, but how they're as individuals too. Aoi's love for the art, Keito's point of view on life and how he cares for the people around him. They make me happy just watching them like this.
I do think the story is diving deeper into the challenges disabled people have to face in their daily life and I want to see how the author will handle this. I trust them to approach and treat the matter with grace and love. I also can understand that people have different ways of showing care and love, and that sometimes people overreact because they're scared. The brother seems like he's younger, so the fact that his older brother, who has a disability that makes it hard for him to navigate in a society that's prioritizing abled people, needs to rely on him, would make him feel responsible for him and that sense of duty and love might turn twisted if the family doesn't really see that this could have forced him to mature way too fast. After all, in a family with two kids and one clearly needs more attention, the other either feels neglected or feel like they have to step in to take care of their sibling. That's just speculation though, so I can't wait to see how story will turn out!
