Because of a hearing disability, Kohei 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 Kohei that his hearing loss is not his fault. Taichi's words cut through Kohei's usual defense mechanisms and open his heart. More than friends, less than lovers, their relationship changes Kohei forever.

Sep 14, 2017Given the recent popularity of the anime film A Silent Voice, the sensitive topic of hearing impairment has been much to the fore. I Hear the Sunspot is a very different work but just as worthy of your time for its characterization and bitter-sweet depiction of a nascent relationship. And the artwork is gorgeous. Recommended.

Nov 24, 2021The two mains in this series are described as “more than friends, less than lovers”, which really doesn’t come into play until the last quarter of this volume. Boys-love and romance fans might be disappointed with how slowly their relationship develops, but given that there are four more volumes that focus specifically on this relationship, I enjoyed a little bit of the slow, build-up that layered a foundation for these two gentlemen. Yes, Taichi had a though the first time he saw Kōhei that he was extremely handsome, but it wasn’t in admiration until much later. Often times in the boys-love stories I’ve read, the two mains see each other and are instantly in love and embarrassed by their feelings. In this story, we had time to fall in love with each guy as they sort of fell in love with each other. This volume is the first in the series I Hear the Sunspot. The other books in the series are: I Hear the Sunspot: Theory of Happiness (1 vol), and I Hear the Sunspot: Limit (3 vols). Read Full Review
