I loved this manga. I see several people saying that people only love it because he's deaf and that it's stupid to fall in love with someone because of how they play the drums, and I couldn't disagree more. This manga is more than just a deaf guy who plays a drum and the girl who fell in love with him. This is their love story, going from when Asuka was a kind of stupid teenage girl to being a strong woman who does her best to learn sign language so she can talk to her boyfriend. It shows Masami's struggle to be on the same level of understanding with others though he can't hear them. There's even the factor of people forgetting that you're deaf and talking quickly, and it does cause some issues between Asuka and Masami. This is a really good manga and I'll admit that I cried a little. A previous commenter said that "almost immediately after they solve one obstacle, there's another one," and kept complaining about it. Well, that's just a fact of life, even more so when you're a deaf guy and your girlfriend doesn't know sign language. Also, she fell in love with him because of the feelings he put into the drum playing. Duh. I see people judging this because Masami is angry at being deaf. How would you feel if one day you could hear just fine and after a while, you can't listen to your favorite song anymore. You'd struggle to communicate in our busy world and it's very unlikely that every single person you would meet would be willing to slow down to accommodate you. I'd be upset, too!
Anyways, this manga is great!!! Don't skip over this manga!! It's so cute and deals with a few major issues mixed with adorableness.

It's not often that you find a Shoujo that's just refreshingly different from all the rest. Throughout two short volumes, Kingyo Sou weaves a beautiful story about a romance between a high-school girl and a boy who cannot hear, and all thr troubles they go through along the way. The art is gorgeous and unique, and the story is both interesting and emotionally moving. I have to admit it... I cried.
It is by no means a sad story, though. I own the second volume in the original Japanese, and the author wrapped things up rather nicely. This is definitely worth a read for those who are looking for a manga that deals convincingly with different issues, and for those who are just looking for a good read.
It's adorable and touching. I'd recommend it to anyone.

The drum beats, the heart beats, all of it feels so deep. It was beautiful. =) Definitely worth reading, unique, and will hold a deep place in your heart. It is also to see something through a different view, of having a lack of hearing.
wow :D

I was surprised by the first chapter, and then again by the second chapter. It's a very sweet story, funny and sometimes sad. I don't know many manga with this kind of sincerity and warmth. While I myself don't know a great deal about deafness or the circumstances of people who deal with it, it's apparent that this mangaka wants to portray it realistically. I think there's a pretty good balance of entertaining story and "awareness" teaching (?). Another thing I find interesting is that, unlike MANY shoujo manga, the barriers and problems facing the couple seem like actual, reasonable concerns. If Asuka bursts into tears over something, I feel like I can understand why her emotions brought her to that point rather than passing it off as "Oh, another silly girl and her melodramatics..."
Definitely worth a read. And a reread or two as well

I have read many kinds of manga and there are none of those like this one. It attracts me so much because it's so real. The plot isn't impossible or hard to happen in real life. It's possible. It's so real yet so cute. The story is deep and heart-warming. I like matt_is_the_best's comment. "The drum beats. The heart beats". It's a beautiful connection. It's a beautiful story. It's one of the most, no the most wonderful and sweetest love story that I have ever read!!

This is probably one of my favourite shoujo mangas, if not my favourite. I really wish it was longer. I've read it a few times now and every time it moves my heart and makes me cry. I recommend it to everyone that believes in love.

A great manga, read it. I feel like this need to be read by a lot more people so that its wonderfulness is spread. I don't really have much to say, as its hard to describe it with words, but lets just say, its great.
On another note, I stumble across this manga after like a year after I graduate from high school and I was studying at college at the time but still haven't decide on my major course yet. I'm not saying that this manga influence my decision (maybe a little, I'm not sure) or make a huge difference in my life (its not that kind of manga), but it kind of relate a bit with my life right now. I'm currently studying to become an audiologist, and when I look back, and think about this manga that I somehow get the chance to read, I was grateful. It's like destiny! (a bit dramatic, there..sorry)
Anyway, this manga has become the best among my favourites, I lost count how many times I reread it, I even have it on my phone..

This manga is beautiful. The characters are adorable, and very human. As a writer, I've come to appreciate the realism in some mangas.
Asuka fell in love with Masami not because of his face, or anything, she fell in love with the emotions he conveyed by playing the taiko. That is something that happens rarely. What really got me was the fact that she was concerned by his deafness, but in the end decided to persevere. I love that Masami is both very strong and very fragile. He came out very human. This manga is one of a kind.
I suppose not many of you will understand what it feels like to blind or deaf, the fear, the pain, the sadness. The overwhelming hatred and anger. The scariness... I'm not saying I'm completely blind, but without my glasses, I'm put into a world where nothing is definite. Without them, I'm as good as blind. Its scary, I can not function without them. I fear them breaking, or my eyesight getting worse (which it is). Its painful. I don't know how I would live in a world without color, without beauty. Even more so for being deaf. I would just die if I couldn't hear music, if I couldn't hear the beauty of melody.
Thats why I love this manga. Its very real in a way. Yes, there are some moments where it seems cliche, but think about this. It's a plot device. It helps the story move along.

One of the best mangas i got to read, with consistent character and an amzing storyline. I'm really glad i read it. I nearly cried, and that's more than i can say for any of the previous mangas i read. I recommend it to just anyone who likes a really good romance.

This story is so unique, seriously, I’m sure you can go through hundreds maybe even thousands of manga and not find a plot anywhere near this one. Its unique plot is one thing that made this refreshing manga just so great!
Plot- The plot focuses around the relationship between Asuka and deaf Masami. Masami being deaf adds a new dimension to the regular romantic relationship. It adds whole new obstacles and circumstances that add to the stories originality, and though some of the things that happen in the manga are cliché the twist they get because of Masami being deaf make them completely unique and wonderful to read.
Characters- The characters are nice and… well they are nicely realistic. You can understand the struggles the characters go through, the doubt, the fears, everything. The two mains very nicely balance each other out and the secondary characters are really supportive and each very individual making a nice cast all around.
Art- Was the regular shoujo artwork, nothing overly special but in no way bad either. It was very fitting for the manga.
Other- I really enjoyed this manga; there was just something so great about it that’s a bit hard to pin down much less relate in a review. Give this manga a try, I really recommend this manga; it was a very nice cute and warm read!
8/10 – Was Good
