I had to google "Goze" and it helps making more sense while reading this. Quite an ominous start I'd say but I'm a sucker for a character with a disability + cultural art.

Pretty decent chapter 1, stuff like this you need to wait for it to cook. Takes time to build up

I really like the premise: blind girl becomes a musician to find a meaning. The art style is really rough, though, and the way they find out she's blind is rather weird: was she just blind all along and nobody noticed?

Well, I hope the next chapter is more interesting.
Pretend there's something flashy and cool here.

I guess she got blind when she met that lady from first two pages, and she is still a child (max 12 years old) so weird behaviour could be easily associated with "child tantrum". Especially since they don't have access to "modern technology" and books/newspapers (by looking at flashlight it seems story is placed in late 19th, early 20th century) and she doesn't have friends her age. So overall moments to realize it dropped significantly.



Overall good start, seeing her how she is more confident with going outside was very sweet.

Wow, the art is so beautiful. Not the typical modern anime, more reminding of historical Japanese art. More realistic. I'm especially in love the way the eyes are drawn!

As for the story, I'm surprised it took them this long to realize she's blind. Okay, she never goes outside and she's also very young (being clumsy should be very normal at that age), but still. Have they never asked her about what she can see and all that?
I have a theory that that person in the prologue cursed her or something? Cause it seems like Hotaru has seen her, especially her eye, right? Or maybe Hotaru was born visually impaired already and it simply has worsened over the years, turning her blind completely?

Kinda also have a feeling that the Kitsune from the song (that the elderly Goze played), will have something to do with the woman from the prologue.

I like the grandpa. He's very chill and just accepts Hotaru the way she is, blind or not, also doesn't treat her any differently.

The girl (Sango?) that's traveling with the elderly Goze (Oyuki?) – she's blind in one eye, right? Or does she simply have heterochromia?
