moody_bish's manga / #Deaf(4)

Due to an accident, Tooru becomes deaf and left with a huge scar on the side of his head. One night, Kazuha approaches him but the suddenness led to misunderstanding. When they met again, they became friends to the point of learning Sign language together. Another misunderstanding causes tension between them.

Intention-wise, it is a good call-out to the government for the disabled (if they still do not care for them). Plot-wise, it is very linear. The characters are dominantly flat and the main couple is deceived 90% of the time. Midway the story, I am no longer persuaded by the tragic elements of the story. I cried, but now I'm just aware of how much the plot is forced to take course to a tragic end

Eince ive cooled down too much from waiting for updates, I reread it. First, the whole premise/idea/plot is interesting and a true slice of life. Second, we get an entitled antagonistic bitch who caused Yohan's impaired hearing. A friend who is ready to build a cemetery of buried assholes for Yohan. We get an understanding yet relateably impulsive Soohwa and his awakened sensitivity of hearing. The side characters are solid and although the whole family of Gyoon is a big headache, I'm glad everything was smoothened well enough (I'm just pissed that Byung is still out there unscathed). At times I just forget that Yohan is deaf but when this is manifested, his character is further solidified. He is capable and it's rude to pity him because he surmounted that injury he was dealt with. P. S. Jihae (?) looks like the guy in "The Warehouse". Tan, golden eyes, and ridiculously creepy gaze. Cause like, he just stares at your soul with his generic smile.

I was purged of all my emotions. I was barely getting thru most of the chapters because of the circumstance, certain character "flaws", and the reality being depicted. Bottomline for me is that disability is taken by those experiencing nd witnissing it differently, even those belonging in either groups. Either not unfortunate enough or too warped into the world you're from (privilege/discrimination). I can really feel how much the author poured into this story to make sure that it's not black white nor generalized. Even the person who is "unbiased" tend to get ahead of himself or those who have been suffering so much become uhmm unhearing to those who love them and do stuff in order to make a safe space with them
