Age rating is 16+ on the cover of the book. I think this probably applies to later volumes because this one was pretty tame. If I had to compare it to other series I have read it could be said that The Moon on a Rainy Night seems vaguely like a Your Lie in April and A Silent Voice mash up. But yuri. It kinda has similar vibes, but of course it is completely different.
I really liked the art. It's quite clean with some very good attention to detail. You can tell some of the panels took some time. The manga itself brings some attention to certain difficulties hard of hearing (and in some cases, deaf) people face that we full hearing people wouldn't think twice about. It touches on bullying and arguably 'ableism' but over all is just a really nice start to a relationship, friend or otherwise, of two girls.
Can't wait to read the next one!

After being helped by a stranger while coming home from a private lesson, Saki realises that this stranger is her new classmate Kanon, who is hard of hearing. This story follows them as their relationship develops and romantic feelings bloom.
This is a refreshing take for the Yuri/GL genre, since it's rare to encounter much disability representation there. The author clearly makes an effort to faithfully capture what that experience is like. I also love being able to see how Kanon opens up to the people around her. Really looking forward to seeing where their relationship goes from here !
CW for ableism and bullying.
I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
