Synopsis

Yuki Itose is a hearing-impaired university student whose world has been shrouded with silence since birth. She has lived in the same place her whole life, and rarely interacts with others save for her best friend, Rin Fujishiro. During her commute one day, she meets the silver-haired and multilingual Itsuomi Nagi, a mutual friend of Rin. Unlike most, Itsuomi is unwavering when he learns of Yuki's impairment; this, along with his experiences abroad, fascinates and touches her. After they part, her fondness of him starts to grow. A new world begins to open for both Yuki and Itsuomi as they learn about each other's different lives.

Yubisaki to Renren is a lighthearted, romantic comedy that illustrates the silent life of a university student and how one man sharing his world starts to change her own.

Preliminary (16/? eps)
A light-hearted romantic story between a multilingual boy and a deaf girl, from Morishita-san (who made HibiChouChou)! I remember stumbling upon this when I was trying to find some shoujo mangas I haven't read yet and this one came up!

The art style of Morishita has extremely improved since Hibichouchou, and in my opinion, this is probably her best work yet.

Since writing this review, theres about 16 chapters so far, and I'm still invested lol! The story is great, its well-paced and doesn't have the "high school setting" and "extreme couple dynamic" cliches, feels like a breath of fresh air!

From the 1st chapter, ...

Preliminary (19/? eps)
This series is ... just okay. Very cute, but basic story with an uninteresting romance.

It's important to write and spread well-researched stories that have characters with disabilities in the forefront. I love how Yuki's deafness is explored and how she reacts to the world around her (and how others react to her in turn).

However, as a romance series, I find the romance extremely lacking. I don't think there is a lot of chemistry between Yuki and Itsuomi. I'm having difficulty thinking of interests they share or conversations between the two of them that wasn't about their relationship or feelings towards eachother. What I'm getting ...

Preliminary (9/? eps)
This series is for sub girls. If you don't want a perfect fantasy tall pretty boy dom infantilizing his sub girl from day 1 all touchy-feely without consent like a pickup-artist while criticizing the same thing in simp childhood friend then this story isn't something you'll like. (This series is the sexual harassment vs flirting meme).
It infantilizes its deaf FMC in every way (she has never encountered anything outside Japan online, and the author depicts racist stereotypes in one of the few times when anything abroad is actually depicted).
It uses her deafness as token representation as the sole distinguishing feature of this generic shoujo romance ...
