All the osts talk about separation and reuniting and the trailer also indicates something similar. I'm so scared cuz i can't see any reason why Duanwu and YZM would separate as of now. If this ends up as a sad ending I'm killing myself 😭
I do not like the hate Maya's character gets. Is she annoying? Yes. But she's so much more than a love interest. Infact she's not even Kohei's love interest at all. She's a very well written character. This writer always introduces new characters to bring a new perspective to the main characters life to bring a new conflict not to create drama but because these conflicts have always been there but because Kohei and Taichi are both people who'd rather not talk about them, they need outsiders to intervene and ask what their relationship means to them . This is very much important for the narrative. Infact this is the reason why I love this story. Because it gives the characters, even the side characters time to understand things. To communicate properly.
No one's perfect. Maya has a different coping mechanism. She's trying to protect Kohei from Taichi because she thinks Taichi is just using him and will throw him away soon. Is that assumption wrong ? Yes. But we cannot blame her for thinking so because, first she doesn't know Taichi well and second her life experiences have proved this assumption right. We cannot deny that most people do that. Maya brings a perspective from the partially dead community which is very much needed in the story to question things and to compare her life style with Kohei. Kohei used to be at a worse state when we began, due to Taichi's presence he now has a healthier way to deal with his deafness.
Sai and the company who's profits from sign language also brings an important perspective. Kohei has been feeling isolated his whole life from the hearing and the deaf community because he's inbetween, doesn't fit anywhere. It also portrays how capitalism takes advantage of everything but this company itself will give a much needed job to Taichi but his sole reason to do the job is because he wants to do something for Kohei and people like him. Not because he pities him but because he loves him that much. So much that he cannot not do anything. But that itself will make Kohei feel used . As if, Taichi befriended him just to climb the ladder.
This story is full of misunderstandings and will continue to be that way. Are misunderstandings annoying? Yes. But they are very humane. I love the way this story continues to handle them because humans miscommunicate and this is a story of how Taichi and Kohei grow as people through their support for one another and their presence in each other's life that brings the sunlight. I do not like the complains that they don't spend time that much together nowadays. Yes because this story is about them falling in love while growing as individuals. Their love helps them through it which is why I love this story. It's not just a BL. It's not just a story of a deaf person finding love as salvation. It's so much more than that. It's about Kohei and Taichi. And they are so much more than just some gay deaf-hearing men in love. They have complexities and opposite personalities which clash and cause misunderstandings but how they deal with it is what's the story is about. Because they are different, they love each other. Because they love each other they try to understand one another. Because of that, they continue to again and again and again chose to love one another.
