The Moon on a Rainy Night Vol. 05

The Moon on a Rainy Night Vol. 05

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. Perfect for fans of yuri series like Whisper Me a Love Song and sweet, sophisticated romances like A Sign of Affection.

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

Summer break has finally begun, and Kanon and Saki throw themselves into preparing for the upcoming choir contest. When Tanabe suggests setting up a maid café for their school festival project, the three friends decide to head downtown to look at maid outfits. What with conductor practice, shopping excursions, and spending almost every minute with Saki, Kanon is actually starting to enjoy summer in a way she never did before. The only thing that could burst this happy bubble is an unexpected encounter with her classmate Tomita, who usually treats her with scorn. Could there be more to Tomita’s story than she’s letting on?

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 protrayal 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.
