Goodreads Synopsis:
"You rescued me from a
world without sound. If it wasn't for you, I never would've known the
world was such an amazing place!" Because of a hearing disability,
university student Kohei had made a habit of distancing himself from
those around him. But after meeting the exceedingly cheerful Taichi, he
gradually begins to embrace a more positive outlook on life. Kohei
eventually begins to see Taichi as more than a friend, and after he
finally confesses his love to Taichi, the feelings become mutual. In
this new addition to the I Hear the Sunspot series, Kohei continues on
as a student, while Taichi makes his way out into the working world to
pursue his own calling and the two begin a new life together!
Review:
Now that Taichi and Kohei are officially together, they're still
finding their way with that. At the same time, Kohei is discovering
that his hearing might be going even more, and Taichi is at a new
job, where he's helping people with deafness, and he's being taught
some hard lessons.
I really like the realistic aspect of deafness that this series
takes. As Taichi starts his new job, he's being made to learn how to
deal with it in the real world, how he can help but also how he can't
take over like he wants to, in order to do everything he can to help
in the moment.
We meet a new character in this volume, when Kohei is shown a deaf
sports team. Ryu seems rude at first, but we discover that he's just
got his own sense of boundaries and morals. He can be very intense,
in good and bad ways, I think. I'm intrigued by him.
We see Kohei and Taichi finding their balance in their new
relationship, and in the new places they're at in life in general.
I'm really glad this series didn't end at either of the single
volumes before this, as I really want to read more, and it never
quite felt like their story was done yet. I'm looking forward to
reading more.
