The absolutely emotional, compassionate, heartfelt storytelling of the characters in I Hear The Sunspot is truly perfect. It made me feel connected to them in stunning ways. Taichi's honesty, the way he looks out for and tries to make sure his friend is cared for, and the way he'd go to bat for him every time, is truly lovely. And the way in which Sugihara admits his feelings, the way his own fears and hopes come to the surface, and the rawness of the feelings between both characters shine to the surface make the story even more comforting to read. As someone who has hearing loss as well, I Hear The Sunspot is a staple read for me that I will be holding close to my heart again and again.
