Hidamari ga Kikoeru

Because of a hearing disability, Kouhei is often misunderstood and has trouble integrating into life on campus, so he learns to keep his distance. That is until he meets the outspoken and cheerful Taichi. He tells Kouhei that his hearing loss is not his fault. Taichi’s words cut through Kouhei’s usual defense mechanisms and open his heart. More than friends, less than lovers, their relationship changes Kouhei forever.
