    I honestly became so jaded at the world...at the concept of love but this title completely changed what it means to sacrifice, to be faithful, and to love. What a beautiful relationship that transcends through simple understanding of what it means to have a deep bond.

    I am literally speechless and want to write a review but I'm still at the 'THIS IS LIFE CHANGING IDK HOW EXACTLY' stage

    Simple story with beautiful relationship. I love how this story sheds light on the hearing impaired experience, the crossover of different "worlds", and a beautiful love story that blossoms from this. This is one of my favorite mangas and to see it adapated in drama form so beautifully is such a blessing. I love this so much.

    One of the sweetest stories. I remember reading the concept and being quite confused, but it really shows that you are never too old to experience the youth, the wonder that love brings. I think it's a show about exploring the various sides you hold and accepting even ones that society may not. The fact that they can be themselves and explore that part of themselves with one another I think is what makes this relationship so beautiful.

    Also love seeing older couples represented in BL (or older character!). Definitely would love to see more!

    4. Restart after Come back Home

    Japanese Movie - 2020

    9.0

    A comment talked about japanese shows and movies have that power to make you believe in happiness again...and without even complex plots or stories they seem to be able to do this. A lovely slice of life that explores feelings of love and where the protagonist explores his purpose in life. It's a beautiful story I highly recommend.

    I would say that this one is a cinematographic masterpiece. Each shot is so intentional, the lighting, mood, subtle change in tones of the acting. It is clear that there was a lot of time and detail put into shooting this and no surprise that film is one of the themes or connecting points between the main couple. It is honestly a story I've seen before in mangas, but the relationship between the leads, the way the story is told shows the realities of people from different baths and backgrounds and is a fresh of breath air in terms of their wholesome interactions. There are some scenes from this that I will always remember because of how beautiful the words were or the specific shorts.
