The story left a bit to be desired, but I haven't been in the mood for MG stories lately, so I'm blaming that on myself....more
I haven't seen a lot of D/deaf representation in fiction in general, much less in manga, and I don't believe I've ever seen any representation at all that follows a character who is currently experiencing their hearing loss increasing over time. While I have an auditory processing disorder, I can't actually speak to the representation shown here, but I can say that from my perspective, I really appreciated some of the things this story touched on, like the way people (especially femme people) like to pity disabled people or feel as though they can "help" that person with their love and attention, or how frustrating it is for many people in Kohei's position to be told "nevermind, it isn't important" instead of the other party simply repeating themselves and allowing Kohei to feel included in the conversation. It was heart-breaking, some of the casual things people said and did that you could see were wearing down Kohei's self-confidence and his desire to be social with anyone aside from his mother and Taichi.
As far as watching the romance slowly bloom between Kohei and Taichi, if this tells you anything about how invested I am, it took me all of 10 seconds between reaching the end of this book and borrowing the ebook for the sequel from the library.

I'm not sure, but I think it would be pretty enjoyable for people who haven't played the game. As someone who finally picked up the game earlier this year and fell into a DEEP spiral of obsession over it, I adored this. It was neat to see some of the inner workings of the lamb's mind and the minds of their followers! I'm really excited that there will be future issues and I can't wait to read them!...more
