I love this story! I'm curious though why he never actually spoke? From what I understand people who are born deaf don't know how to speak, but he was in an accident so I assume he does know how to speak? Now I understand that he probably doesn't want to, because he can't hear himself. But still, I wish they had explained it
This manga is also from the late 2000’ And a one shot, so most likely not put too much into it, and maybe wanted to make him seem cuter too?? Idk but I get ur point
Right? Deaf people (people born Deaf are capitalised) usually have a Deaf “accent” since they can’t hear themselves talk but people who are deaf (was hearing, now deaf) usually still speak and use both sign assisted language AND traditional sign language in order to preserve as many communication methods as possible/ feel as “normal” as they can after an accident or hearing loss. I do get that this is old now but I do wish they hadn’t made him mute if his accident was only a year ago. Especially if he was refusing to acknowledge his deafness as a disability.
Idk if any1 will see this and to preface i am no way a professional or like super duper knowledgable in the deaf community and i myself am not Deaf or Hard of Hearing. I am a hearing person. I just want to share my experience. And also i am speaking from more of an american stand point cuz i know depending on culture and society it can be diff.
I see alot of ppl referring to Deaf people as disabled. From what i learned from my Deaf professor while learning ASL, the Deaf community doesn’t like being referred to as disabled because they don’t see themselves disabled. By that they mean that they are able to do everything an abled bodied person can in terms of basic needs and regular day to day. Now i know they cant hear music but they can feel vibrations and get the feel of it through interpretation. My Deaf professor was telling me that they see themselves as people who “speak” a different language and that being called disabled means that they need to be fixed but in fact the deaf community don’t feel like they do need to be “fixed” in any way. They just have their own culture and language. They have their own unique way to express emotions and there are very interesting and cool videos you can watch of Deaf poets. The way they sign poetry but also still have that feeling and emotion through sign is cool! Also the reason as to why i capitalize D in Deaf is because they are their own community and culture as well so its like when you capitalize America or Japan when you write about them (( in formal setting cuz typing casually i just be lazy to capitalize and punctuate smtimes lol)). Now i know that everyone has diff situations and in this manga the character loses his hearing suddenly and recently and i cant say much about him due to not being super duper familiar to Japans culture and societys views on the Deaf community. I just wanted to let ppl know abt what i learned from a person from the Deaf community. Also if you’re interested in learning more its really easy to search about it on ur own. (⌒▽⌒)
From what I’ve learnt about the Deaf (born) and deaf (ended up deaf) communities, it differs vastly from person to person but also from communities. Deaf people don’t view it as a disability since they were differently abled from the beginning just like a person born with paralysis or born blind won’t view it as a disability since they’ve always been that way. For the deaf community, it’s different. They were once hearing and lost the ability to hear which is the textbook definition of “disability”. I’m in the uk so it might be different country to country but being born differently abled is not the same as becoming disabled. If you were once functioning in one way and could not do so anymore, that’s you losing that function. This is especially difficult when it’s one of the 5 main senses. We do have other senses that compensate when we lose one sense (we have over 30 senses) but it is debilitating for a while until you adapt. This also goes for conditions like selective mutism, the blind community, the paralysed community and every other differently abled and disabled group. I myself am disabled and categorise myself as such because the change occurred after I was 10 so I had gotten used to living a certain way and then had to adapt to a new way of living. I think a lot of disabled people view it the same way as me but ofc as with everything, some people won’t. The reason why it’s important that the uke know that he’s disabled and it’s not a bad word or a slight against him is that he can’t get better and adapt to his new life until he acknowledges that he NEEDS to adapt and change. It is a disability but “disability” doesn’t necessarily mean “incapable of functioning”. It’s a huge stigma in many countries including the country I was born in in Africa and also in Asian countries like Japan. They still view it as a vulnerability and something to be ashamed of since it means “imposing” or “burdening” others by asking for support and assistance now and then. The western world is a lot more tolerant of all types of disabilities but the whole world isn’t really good on accessibility although places like America and the uk do try their best.
Super fluffy and makes my heart feel warm. The uke is so adorable and hot at the same time like a gentle bear. Actually the seme and uke are both super hot and manly so thats a big plus. The only flaw is that its a one shot! But even though its a one shot the story flowed perfectly and I was satisfied. Recommend!
Im just confused as to why Tooru needs a cane... Doesn't it look "pretentious" for a seeing person to have a cane?
Anyway, Kazuha really went for it to tell Tooru about seeing himself as a victim and looking down on disabled people. Also, it’s a nice gesture to learn Sign language together and well, form a romantic relationship <3
By having a cane, people can immediately tell that the person is disable, regardless what kind of disability they have. Imagine if the person is deaf but don't have a cane, when people calling out to him, people can have misunderstanding like maybe he's being arrogant, don't want to bother.
So by having cane actually helps a lot. Not necessarily must be blind. That's what happened in my country, the moment we saw a person with a cane, we'll be extra careful, doesn't matter what kind of disability.

It’s nice to see how America views it though!
Ah so cuuuute and fluffy~
you just know it's theirs by the cover alone, the art style is just unique and the stories are just to my taste
Super fluffy and makes my heart feel warm. The uke is so adorable and hot at the same time like a gentle bear. Actually the seme and uke are both super hot and manly so thats a big plus.

Same
This story makes me happy, and I’m happy that I still understand some sign language. Even tho I grew distant of it after my sister died.
So your just trying to make me cry ╥﹏╥
This as a one shot should be a crime
i wish this was longer

Kazuha said that It’ll be easier to tell if he was handicapped or not.
Yeah. But he isn't blind... Which makes the cane look like he's faking a disability. But if that works in Japan ~ alrighty then HAHAHA
My exact thought
I mean he does have a disability but why a Cain?
CANE

Well my thought was is he can't hear so if something happened from the behind he has a cane or something ╮(￣▽￣)╭
