This was such an eye-opening manga. It really provided a fresh perspective on the hearing impaired community, in which such an excellent character, Taichi, was written to support a crucial message. So many of the side characters were surprisingly well-developed, compared to other mangas. The development of Taichi and Kouhei's romance was super well written and well-paced. And the relationship between them is just so precious and cute! I love the quirks of the characters (not just the MCs)!

My favourite of Harada's works. Seme clearly mentally ill, with a dual personality (flamboyant, but had a creepy and twisted dark side), which was almost thrilling. He had no character development, which actually worked in the manga's favour, and the ending reflected the cyclical nature of the story. It was dark and messed up, but such a good read.
Wow... The relationship between Craig and the director is so pure- their budding romance is almost childlike in a way. Yet, juxtaposed against the physical and social climate of the story, their love just seems so bright, and the fact that they both provide equally for one another-- its a testament to the strength of love and the human spirit.
