I dig this.

' ' So soft...

I look forward to see more!

I can feel with four eyes-shou.
" i'm not right in there eyes "

Something about the art style just speaks to me. I love this already.

This is going to be a really interesting story :3

woo liking it.. the other girl is blind

I understand the cane...but why the radio?? Something for her disability too or just to listen to some stuff like music, news?...ahhh 'cuz she can't see? O_o

I'm immediately taken with this. I'm with everyone else in wishing for more disability yuri (deaf, please, someone) and my heart literally fluttered when I realized the LI was blind. That one-shot with the girl getting her sight back was super cute and made me cry but I don't think that plot or tone really fit this story.

The protag's focus on how people's eyes look at her might be foreshadowing the blind girl's eventual "recovery" and then look at the protag with kind eyes but I feel like that would be out of place. I'd like to go one yrui story without both characters going "look at how hot that girl is /thirst/"

The art is amazing and I think is big evidence to a more realistic plot and mood. Instant subscribe, for sure.

Oh hell yes. I've never clicked "subscribe" so quickly before in my life.

also transbikes I think you're maybe being a little overly-cynical... The girl has a walking stick and a radio. Already way more realistic than most stories. I don't think the artist is using her disability as a throwaway gag or anything.

I am cynical, its true. I'm not saying the depiction was inaccurate, it's just there is extensive history of ablesist narratives that treat disability as simply a tool to further plot and highlight character development. Disability is often cured by the end of the story to show that the characters overcame whatever hurdles they had to navigate in the story. Its always framed as something bad, something undesirable, and for the able-bodied audience to pity. So when the cure happens, the able-bodied audience can be happy, knowing that the character is now "just like them". It undermines the reality that most disabled people manage their disability for life, and it erases an ideas that people can be perfectly happy with a disability. It destroys disabled culture and enforces the idea that able-bodied bodies are inherently better and more desirable.

I am old and full of salt, I apologize.
I'm still going to read this though, because its still a story with disability and that's already rare as it is...

edit: see post above this for an example of exactly what I'm expecting..

I can't really disagree with transbikes's caution. I've seen enough stuff on trans and other issues in manga to trust the average manga author to understand the issue they're talking about enough to present it well. Now as neversung said, early signs are good that they know what they're talking about. But I've been burned on stuff like that before, so I'm taking a wait-and-see attitude.

My personal caution is based on authors typically only having a cursory knowledge of their subject and filling in the blanks with assumptions. I'm hopeful that won't be the case here.

Well, I'm feeling a good vibe. I'm looking forward to the next chapters.

It's from Tsubomi? Interesting.

Downloading it !!1 Riiiiight after my limitation goes of ahaha
Thats a promising story we have here. I knew it would be ))
Hope it wont be a total cliche plot "they became closer fell in love and bam! a surgery and all the difficult stuff")

I might see you

Is this a mistranslation/bad phrasing or does Chiharu really say that?

To be fair, I have a mutual who's deaf, and he will often sure the phrase "I hear ya" when he's agreeing with us on something. So I guess my experience with that caused me to read over Chiharu saying that without skipping a beat.

Hope it wont be a total cliche plot "they became closer fell in love and bam! a surgery and all the difficult stuff")

I hope there wont be a miraculous surgery too, but I want to see them fall in love. As long as it's not cliché I don't see the problem of them falling in love .-.

If I don't want it to be cliché, But I surely don't want too much angst / forced drama either...

I looked in Tsubomi vol. 10: In the Japanese, she says 会える which is commonly translated as can/might see you, but it more literally means can/might meet you. So no, it doesn't imply she can see.

The drawing is really really great

Meh, the main character is a bit too angsty for me, and also its pretty clear that she's blind MC, come on stop being an idiot.

Interested to see how the blind woman will be portrayed though!

Sound like a good strategy to go around this one. I've known enough how hyping and expecting too much can ruin everything for one's enjoyment. This seem worth following and all, but keeping a level head and having no expectation is really the right way to go.

I cant breath without more of THIS please I'm drowning PLEASE GIMME MOAR

This gave me some Gunjo's vibe for whatever reasons.I hope this is not a bad sign.
