Amayo no Tsuki (The Moon on a Rainy Night)

One day, while rushing to a piano lesson, a girl named Saki collides with someone on the street. As Saki collects herself, the stranger picks up the sheet music Saki dropped, hands it to Saki together with a band-aid, and continues on her way—all without saying a word. Saki is left wondering about the identity of the tall, lovely stranger, only to discover the next day that she is one of her classmates at her new high school. The girl's name is Kanon, and though she is hearing impaired, she refuses any kind of support or "special treatment" from her teachers or classmates. Over the course of the year, Saki slowly grows closer to Kanon and begins to chip away at her cold exterior.

Preliminary (8/? eps)

The best way I can describe this is "A silent voice" meets "From now on we begin ethics."

It's about this girl who's somewhat deaf and her friend and their relationship as they spend more time together and learn about each other.

What I like about this manga is that it does such a good job of showing the hardships of being deaf while also talking about how we could improve on that. It's not just a plot device to make us feel sorry for the lead, it's just a way of saying "that's the kind of life she lives."

The cast of characters is very likable and ...

Preliminary (21/? eps)

first off, this is a yuri or girls love, but not to any extreme extent. as the synopsis suggests, one of the girl named kanon is deaf, and she is "paired" with saki. if this is just the usual yuri, I wouldn't go as far as read it let alone write a review. what makes this series is so special is that it tackles the problem of disability, and showing how the person struggles by having that. perhaps there are some culture problems involved with some of the problems, but nonetheless shows how fragile the society is by just having 1 disabled person in one ... room. saki literally says this in the manga, but every word is a landmine for kanon. even a word or expression that has no ill intent, can be something kanon would detest due to her past. and because of this, the story is unpredictable in a scary way even though you know there's no killing or anything. just a relationship between the 2 where you wish they become happy, but one small misstep is all it takes to make things crumble. really shows how just being nice isn't the way to treat the disabled as it can backfire, and at the same time there's a way to treat such people without hurting. and I get the feeling that's how it feels like be in some relation with disabled person. although I do not have the audacity to say that I now know how to treat deaf person, it's not that simple at all. in fact that's what the manga would tell you, don't ever feel like you know how to treat disabled person.

some characters look really mean by the first look, but after opening the lid all of them have a reason why they act like that towards kanon/saki. now that doesn't sound that convincing because everyone has a reason to be mean to others. "i had a sad backstory so I'm trying to be a d*ck" is the typical reason for anything in any characters. this manga however, makes the reason very realistic to how some would have to go through. it's not a fantasy so of course even the backstory is realistic duh, yeah I get it. one thing that's a bit different is though, is how each characters have story behind what got them to have table turned because kanon become deaf. this itself is unique, none of the thing each one went through had kanon was normal. but it happened, because she got deaf. I have never experienced any disability people around me, so seeing this is fresh yet hits me in a reality. losing one of the 5 sense is all it takes to ruin the relationship and life, is what all of them shows you.

the art is good, the expression, the look of the girls are cute. the way author draws the panel and the speech panel is quite expressive, that it really depicts the situation.

if anyone really just so happen to stumble upon to this series, go take a try.

Preliminary (23/? eps)

The moon on a rainy night is so far an amazing read (23 chapters). It takes place in high school and is pretty standard when it comes to manga but with a twist, one of the characters, Kanon, has a disability, namely she’s deaf and there are certain things in a normal day to day life that is much more difficult for someone with a hearing disability. The other girl, Saki, is pretty much from the beginning hinted at being gay but without stating it. This makes for a pretty interesting plot when these two find each other. Kanon who is struggling with getting by ...
