Its so disturbing that no one can understand Oushi ... that's really painful. He genuinely loved Yuki but she can't read that through his face... He even learned sign language, always care for her, but she is going after someone complete stranger who didn't did anything for her. Oushi man you deserve better...
@King_Abhi oushi is 20, he is way too old to not know you don't pick/be a jerk to the girl you like and expect that somehow someway she will see this as love/affection

Yuki isn't a masochist

he gotta do better

also not everyone learns a new language because they had a hidden crush, just because he learned sign language doesn't mean yuki will see this as proof of affection (now that conclusion is plain stupid)

I can't get enough of how sweet Yuki is. Seeing all her reactions and enjoying time with her friends was really cute.

I just can't force myself to like Itsuomi more than Oushi. He just seems kind of arrogant to me, especially during the scene where he blocked Yuki's view on Oushi during their convo. Oushi is really overprotective, but you can't really blame him for that. All this hate he is getting is absolutely mindblowing to me and I don't see a single reason why he should get hate in the first place.

I'm so happy with how much progress was made in this episode! I can't wait to see Yuki and Itsuomi's dinner together! And I hope Rin will be lucky as well. ^^

I did feel bad for Oushi, though. Also, I didn't like what Itsuomi did with his arm, I feel like it's inappropriate to prevent Yuki from reading his signing.

Yeah, be it the childhood friend or this super popular mister handsome protag, both are equally unlikable to me.

Also, did nobody ever teach Itsuomi about personal space? Yeah this should've been a question from the first episode, but now this has become really bothersome.

@canephalanx funny how the only people that call Itsuomi a red flag are men

and ironically Oushi is a men's favorite here at MAL too and he is actually the walking red flag

More fluff. Both Yuki and Rin's adorable. Kyouya noticed Yuki's feelings but seems to be oblivious of Rin's feelings for him? Unless he has. Itsuomi noticed Rin's feelings and is oblivious to Yuki's or is he? Liked how affectionate Itsuomi is towarda Yuki btw.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode!! I also liked the minor twist within this shoujo where the main character's romantic interest (Itsuomi) surprisingly deigning to engage in a petty squabble with his "rival" (her childhood friend), as it evinces a more relatably care-free and childish side of the impressively cool and mature Itsuomi.

I knew it, I was afraid that Itsuomi only liked her because she's deaf, he wants to use her a bit to expand his view of the world, but he might end up hurting her in the progress. Sigh.

The kind of relationship where you can be happy just doing errands together, cause simply enjoying each other's presence its like the funnest thing in the world... >>> ( ´ ▽ ` ).。o♡ kyaaaa, Itsuomi is everything, he makes me swoon more with every episode. 💘

In my opinion, the people who think Itsu is exploitative of Yuki's disability or narcissistic don't understand him. The last thing he'd want to do is take advantage of her... it's more like he perceives that she is someone who is vulnerable and it immediately activates his protective instincts as a man. I mean, yes, he loves her "because she's different" but it feels to me like he is approaching her with pure intentions. It's easy for him to get with any girl he wants, but he has the patience to understand someone like Yuki, who might typically be socially stratified or excluded due to her disability.

As someone who read the first 5 volumes of the manga in early 2023, I gotta say that this is exactly the adaptation that I hoped and prayed for at the time. It's clearly, flawlessly executed with tenderness and care. You can tell this is the kind of series where the author either is potentially disabled themselves, or knows and genuinely loves someone who is. (After all, in the notes at the end of each volume, the author does explain their research and that they consulted with real deaf/hard-of-hearing people while writing the series.)

What is even the point of Ouishi, he doesn't work as a "threat" to the romance because they are written as if they love everything about each other, he doesn't work as someone from the "sheltered" life she used to live because, she didn't have a sheltered life and she doesn't care about him like at all, he doesn't work to bring the topic about being inclusive without infantilising deaf people because she seems fine just showing her texts to people and reading their lips and she has the best friend that is always going to support her not matter what, so what is he even doing in this show lol
But that Emma girl is going to win the "what even is the point of your existence in this show" contest.
The main girl doesn't seem to have any interest in life beyond riding botox lips' dick.
