A few days ago, I read a BL manga that caught my attention, and I'm really glad I read it. It was heartwarming and encouraging! It's called Hidamari ga Kikoeru.
NOTE: The following photos are screenshots from the manga.
Hidamari ga Kikoeru or I Hear the Sunspot in English is a story about Sugihara Kouhei and Sagawa Taichi. They are both university students.
Kouhei was eating on the roof one day, trying to stay away from all the other people in their department, when Taichi suddenly fell from somewhere. The latter was so hungry that his mouth became a waterfall when he saw Kouhei's lunchbox. lol
They belong to different departments, but Kouhei is popular. He's not only known for his handsome appearance and tall stature, but he also has difficulty hearing. So, people tend to see him differently.
Since Kouhei has difficulty hearing, he's looking for someone who could take notes for him. Taichi, who's been working part-time jobs here and there, volunteered to help him in exchange for food.
Well, Taichi wasn't really doing such a good job with the note-taking, but the circumstance brought both of them closer.
Their relationship is quite a sight, as they are very different. Kouhei, who once lived in a world of isolation, has slowly begun to change. Thanks to Taichi's strong-willed personality, Kouhei has started to embrace the idea of demanding more for himself and living like a normal person. He is now open to the possibility that there are people like Taichi who are willing to understand him in this world.
It's a heartwarming story about overcoming loneliness, developing self-respect and creating a bond through similarities and differences.
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS STORY!!!
Although it's tagged as BL, the romance part was just a bonus.
I love how it focused on the character developments of the MC (main character) and the ML (main lead). It's not only the main characters that were focused in the story. The people around them also played a huge role.
Taichi, despite his past (not having parents and growing up with his grandpa) turned out to be a kindhearted person. I love the scenes with his grandpa as well. They're both stubborn people but with huge hearts.
Since one of the main characters has trouble hearing, it reminds me of the anime Koe no Katachi which I also really enjoyed and cried my heart out watching. Stories like this reflect reality.
Although it might not be the same, our society is full of standards, and everyone seems busy trying to fit in. It's stressful and exhausting! Reading this manga gave me hope that people who genuinely care about others regardless of status, condition, etc., still exist.
It encouraged me to be someone like Taichi, who, despite the things he's been through in life, remained kind and helpful to others without expecting anything in return.
I highly recommend this story. There are only six volumes in total, and every chapter is worth reading! BL or not, I hope you give this manga a chance. <3
I'll end my post here. Thanks for reading and see you around! (^^,)/

I think it's important when stories don't just focus on a couple of characters, it enriches the plot and makes it more dynamic. Interesting manga 😊
That's true... Sometimes I prefer reading the side story or the other characters rather than the main one. Haha It was indeed an interesting read. <3
I don't like watching manga and I can't read manga. But when I want to watch manga, I watch Manga Explanation videos on YouTube. That's very convenient for me, I don't have to read extra. Your explanation of this manga was very good and I really liked it. ❤️
Glad to know that then... 😁✨
Thank you 😊 💓
