My Explanation

The story of the anime is very beautiful and shows how caring the male character is towards the main character and in all the anime. Here the deep meaning of love has been highlighted and the importance of love in the society has been highlighted more beautifully. How humans can express love through gestures is beautifully illustrated here.

The art style of this anime was so beautiful I thought from the trailer that it would look great so I was very interested in it's art style and its story made this anime stand out a lot. So overall it was a combination of art with a very nice story. And the story was very inspiring for the society. It has beautifully expressed the meaning of love in the society.

Thank you so much for reading to the end. Hope you liked it. See you in the next review.

I once started watching this anime because the sign language really got me fascinated. Sign language was part of our SPED class at that time, and coincidentally this anime was currently airing that time so I tried the first eps (but I never finished it because it's still airing—and I'm never good at waiting on newer eps 𓁹v𓁹 hehe). Anyway, now that I've read your review I'm once again reminded that I should really finish watching this soon. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah now we can see it without waiting it will be very fun. Thank you so much for a support.
