I love the accessibility conversations between Saki and Kanon. I can’t wait to see where this goes!

I. Need. More. Of. This.
The deaf/hoh (hard of hearing) rep was great. It did a good job of explaining that hoh is different from complete deafness, as well as the difficulties being hoh brings. Kanon isn't 100% perfect at lip reading, and she makes it explicitly clear that there are times when it's difficult, or impossible, for her to do. Saki isn't the perfect friend. She messes up at times but is good at reminding herself to fix her mistakes. Their lack of perfection early on in their friendship makes this so much more realistic.
The queerness is subtle so far. I was hoping it would be a bit more obvious as this is marketed as a GL/yuri mangas. Saki clearly thinks Kanon is pretty, but it's not really expressed in a romantic way, yet. Kanon also bumps into an ex-friend who could potentially be an ex-girlfriend. In its final pages, There was a quick "will they or won't they" kiss moment, but it was excused away as Kanon leaned in to hear Saki better.
cw: there are some ableist things said about Kanon behind her back, and Saki doesn't challenge them
