A Sign Of Affection Vol. 10

Yuki is a typical college student–it’s just that she can’t hear. A chance encounter on a train leads to a serious crush…but will he give her a chance? A sweet and relatable manga romance from the creator of Shortcake Cake!

“Now our life together can finally begin…”

Since they started going out, the handsome and confident Itsuomi has been nothing but kind and caring toward Yuki, his deaf classmate and now girlfriend. The two have knocked down one challenge after another: staying in touch while Itsuomi is overseas, dealing with friends with unrequited crushes, and finally securing permission from Yuki’s parents to move in together. Now the big day is finally here, and they’ve just finished bringing the last box into their new home. But now that all that work is done, the most nerve-wracking part begins: everyday life!

“This sweet romance is told from the point of view of the Deaf character, and it also places heavy emphasis on communicating with sign language.” -School Library Journal

A realistic and very sweet romance between two college students who see a chance to broaden each other’s horizons.
