| Nagi: "Don't do anything weird" Itsuomi: *proceeds to put his nuts in Yuki's mouth* |
  NYANPASU  5700XT |
| Still find it a bit weird how head-over-heels Yuki is for Itsuomi in such a short amount of time (yes yes he's a green flag, but like, everything?? already?? lol) and I wish she has more character to her other than thinking "Itsuomi this, Itsuomi that" all the time, but otherwise a very enjoyable and cute episode. Yuki's small laugh is definitely the highlight. The misunderstanding with the rival girl is such a tiring shoujo trope but it looks like they're already going to clear things up in the following episode, so as long as the execution is good then I'll be satisfied. But with all this happening when they're not even together, I do hope they each talk about their stance on how they feel about each other some time soon. |

| Such a cute episode. Yuki's laugh is definitely adorable. I would have keeled over from cuteness if I was Itsuomi. Although feels a little soon to be that touchy it was cute Itsu tried to tickle her to get her to laugh again. Im finding more of these signs cute. I noticed the sign for "fun" or 'happy" looks like a hand gesture of tickling yourself or maybe skipping? Just like how the sign for "cute" represents a headpat. The one for "everything" I understood without it having to be explained. Was pretty funny seeing Emma fail at her attempt to get Yuki to react to what she said not realizing she's deaf and left with only the scorn of Itsu lol I do feel sorry for Emma a bit though since she seems desperately in need. Did he kiss her hand or just place his face near it? o//o Marinate1016 said: Wait! The reveal that Yuki family don’t even speak sign language is crazy. Her parents didn’t make an effort to learn sign language to communicate with their own daughter? I mean yea communicating thru text or lips will get a quick message across but that’s got to feel so isolating if you’re Yuki. You can never truly express your emotions that way.. There was a thread on the topic early. In short, it's kind of the norm. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2140138 |

Everyone I know that’s hard of hearing or deaf has people around them that speak sign language. Idk what doctor that one dude in that thread is referring to but that’s def not encouraged in the United States at least. That doesn’t even make sense. If your kids deaf, they’re deaf. You need to be able to fully communicate with them. |

The only deaf people i've known I never got to know them very personally so I don't know what their families did nor at the time would i have ever thought of asking something like that. |

If she became deaf later as a result of infection ok that’s different. |

| Me (next time I’m trying to flirt): “Did anyone ever tell you they get tired when they are with you?” This could be an insult as well but it’s also kind of cute… Am I the only one who ships Kyoya and Rin super hard? They are cute together and I can’t believe Rin said that and either Kyoya knows or he is super oblivious to her feelings. Either way they had dinner together. When Itsu tried to tickle Yuki I thought that I’d have killed him like a hundred times… But Yuki doesn’t seem to mind and I really like how they are so cute together *-*. I mean… Itsu gets kind of touchy but Yuki seems more used to it now. Also it was adorable when they were sitting together, writing on the pizza box and then on the notebook together to get to know each other. I really hope Yuki will feel confident enough to use her voice in front of Itsu. Not Ema interrupting and becoming a more unlikable character >.<. But I love Rin for shipping Yuki and Itsu so hard <3. She’s such a great friend *-*. And the ending was cheesy but also very cute and I don’t know why this anime makes me feel very single (but I don’t know if I’m alone with this) :D |
You're the light shining over The black and gloomy nights So long I've been waiting To run into your arms Oh, my only one desire You're the one I need Through the thousand years ~ Evermore "Midnight Sun" by AleXa |
| Itsu and Yuki moments peaking as always. Emma kinda weird, being that pretty I would never beg for someone's attention like that, especially with all those signals that Itsu is clearly not interested, gotta have more confidence in herself. Overall a great episode |
| God damn i wish i have the amount of rizz that Itsuomi had. It should've been me, not HIM!! Omg why is always Nao Touyama that voicing this type of girl? LMAO |
 |
| Rin is the true MVP, saving us from all that clichey romance drama bullshit by forcing the leads to communicate their feelings before the 10th episode. Itsuomi should tell Yuki the truth about Emma already. And get a restraining order on that girl while he's at it... |

| Idk, but I find it kinda fucked up that her family didn't learn to sign to properly communicate with her. That makes me sad. In way that makes me feel for Oushi even more, since he's the only one who Yuki has ever properly communicated with. That breaks my heart for him too. He had his chance though /: Emma really was a cockblock and had to intrude at the worst possible time ugh. Emma tried so hard to make Yuki feel bad but that plan failed miserably because Yuki can't hear. Get wrecked. Poor Yuki misunderstood the situation, rightfully so, but that was still sad to see. Thankfully things cleared up in the end. Itsumoi is so damn smooth, holy heck. The way he looks at Yuki makes me melt. He cares so much about her too which is so sweet to see. I love everything about this man. I'm sure Itsu is going to try to get Yuki to talk to him and hopefully, Yuki will be more confident and not self-conscious about the way her voice sounds. Yuki had the cutest laugh and Itsu loooved it! I need more episodes pleaseeeee! My heart can't wait another week. |
 This never updates so that's cool |
| goooooooooooooood |
 |
| Emma really went for broke here, little did she know that Yuki couldn’t hear her… besides that, a very cute and very wholesome episode like every week. |
| Every episode be making me wiggle my toes uncontrollably |

Reply to alveolate
had enough of handsy ikemen fooling around with innocent deaf girl who apparently wants it so it's okay. consent be damned.
| @alveolate huh..since when itsuomi is fooling around with yuki??? He is serious about Yuki!!! Itsuomi would never do something like that if he didn't have any interest in someone. Stfu if you don't have anything nice to say. Aren't you have no shame when you talk shit about itsuomi for no real reason? Yuki is fine with it. That's her choice. Tf is wrong with you talking like that. if the author see your comment.. the author probably be pissed because of how dumb you're comment is. and here some of the information about itsuomi and Yuki from the author interview.  There must be something wrong with you...idk why you're taking shit to itsuomi and Yuki...😧 and are you talking shit about Yuki and itsuomi on purpose??? I'm just asking. 🤷🏻♂️ Like there is no reason for you to talk shit about itsuomi and Yuki..😧😦 |

| ITSUOMI DRIVES ME CRAZY. Yuki is so loved, getting this lovely treatment from the one she loves. I love these two so much |
 |
| Emma was foul for that interference, so glad that Yuki only caught the key exchange. The barrier crossing with Emma is so wild, I would be running from her if I were Itsuomi. Looking forward to finding out why he actually puts up with her nonsense. |
 |
| Personal space was violated multiple times this episode. But of course it's okay as long as it's with perfect ikemen Itsuomi-kun. "Zenbu", huh? Jesus... On a side note, the fact of Yuki's mother never learning sign language for her daughter honestly baffles me. |

And why TF you assume that itsuomi is taking advantage of Yuki shyness?????? LIKE WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU? ALSO WHY DO YOU EVEN SAID THAT ITSUOMI IS CREEPY??? THAT'S VERY RANDOM. AS YOU KNOW THIS IS LIGHTHEARTED ROMANCE. I REPEAT THIS IS A LIGHTHEARTED ROMANCE!!! THIS ANIME IS A WHOLESOME/FLUFFY ROMANCE. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?? 😒 STOP MAKING A FALSE AND WEIRD ASSUMPTION ABOUT ITSUOMI FOR NO REAL REASON. AT THIS POINT YOU JUST HATE ITSUOMI ON PURPOSE. THERE IS LITERALLY NO REAL REASON FOR YOU TO DONT LIKE ITSUOMI 🤦🏻♂️  |

The two main characters are very cute together, but I find the anime very slow and boring in some episodes... this is ruining it a bit. |
 |
| I feel sorry for that hair stylish dude... getting friend zoned is hard on anyone. |
 |
| @kisaragi_eki yes, but in kimi ni todoke several things happen to delve deeper into the characters. Sawako and her friendship with her friends begin to unfold in episode 3 In this anime in question they are 5 episodes in without being able to focus or delve into any character, they are all shallow and I can't really say where the anime is going. Yes, there are several cute moments...but I don't know, so far I'm finding it slow in these parts, it's as if they were just trying to force cute moments for lack of anything else to put in, there's no twist or anything. Something that usually exists in most shoujos. Both my boyfriend and I watch the anime together and we think it's pretty weak, that doesn't mean it's bad. |
