The Moon on a Rainy Night Vol. 03

The Moon on a Rainy Night Vol. 03. Perfect for fans of yuri series like Whisper Me a Love Song and sweet, sophisticated romances like A Sign of Affection!

A high school girl’s chance encounter with an enigmatic female classmate whose musical aspirations were complicated when an accident almost completely took her hearing leads to the slow blossoming of love.

Saki and Kanon are walking around town when a sudden gust blows some flyers for a hair salon toward them. The two girls gather them up and return them to the owner, a salon apprentice, who unexpectedly asks Saki if she would come to the salon to sit for a test cut. Saki agrees, and when she visits the salon later that week, the young stylist recounts a story about a “friend” who fell in love with one of her female classmates during their school days. Could she be trying to tell Saki something…?

Saki’s confusion about her feelings for Kanon only deepens when Kanon ends up spending the night due to a situation at home. As the two girls are lying in bed facing each other, Kanon tells Saki about her conflicting dreams for the future: she wants to live on her own someday, but she also wants someone around whom she can count on…someone like Saki. Kanon drifts off to sleep, but Saki remains awake long into the night, wrestling with the turmoil within her. All she knows is that she can’t go on like this much longer…

Biographical Notes:

Kuzuhiro has written and illustrated several yuri manga, including Love Death, Ani No Yome To Kurashiteimasu, and Yuri Hime Wildrose. Kuzushiro’s latest series, the acclaimed yuri manga, The Moon on a Rainy Night, is being published in English by Kodansha.

Title Notes:

HARD-OF-HEARING REPRESENTATION: Like the wildly popular romance manga A Sign of Affection and A Silent Voice, this series offers a nuanced portrayal of hearing impairment against the backdrop of a tender romance.

A WELL-PACED YURI MELODRAMA: The relationship between the two female leads is a slow boil, with the usual misunderstandings and romantic rivals adding to the tension, reminiscent of the hits Whisper Me a Love Song and Bloom Into You.
