Synopsis

Yuki Itose is a hearing-impaired university student whose world has been shrouded with silence since birth. She has lived in the same place her whole life, and rarely interacts with others save for her best friend, Rin Fujishiro. During her commute one day, she meets the silver-haired and multilingual Itsuomi Nagi, a mutual friend of Rin. Unlike most, Itsuomi is unwavering when he learns of Yuki's impairment; this, along with his experiences abroad, fascinates and touches her. After they part, her fondness of him starts to grow. A new world begins to open for both Yuki and Itsuomi as they learn about each other's different lives.

Yubisaki to Renren is a lighthearted, romantic comedy that illustrates the silent life of a university student and how one man sharing his world starts to change her own.

Preliminary (52/? eps)

how much i have read: caught up / 52 chapters (foreshadowing)

Art: 9/10
this manga has some great art, everyone in this manga is just a 10/10, everything is so nicely drawn and the mangakas style is just amazing, but some times id get confused on who is who, especially in flashbacks or whenever a character has black hair they almost look identical. other than that when the art needs to hit, it hits some of those spreads and especially those colored drawings need to be put up in an art museum

Plot: 8/10
at the start i wasnt really hooked on the story, it was just a ...

(Cette review est disponible en français un peu plus bas.)

Yubisaki to Renren could have been a great manga, too bad it's lacking everything a shoujo manga should have.

I love the idea of following a deaf character and not focusing on her handicap only. Yubisaki to Renren follows Yuki's daily life with her boyfriend and... that's it, I guess. Sure, she has friends such as Rin (uni student) or Oushi (childhood friend) but we know so little about them it feels like they don't even exist. Rin's only character trait is to be in love with Kyoya, Oushi's is to be jealous of Yuki and Itsuomi's ... relationship, Yuki's is to be in love with Itsuomi and Itsuomi's is... well... that is a very good question actually. All we know is that he's hot, popular and likes to travel. Which could have been great, again, but as nothing really interesting happens around his hobby it just feels like it's a detail. Maybe we'll learn more about this passion later, but I feel like after 5 boring volumes the author could have given us something. Sometimes he leaves, sometimes he's back but we don't know much about what he does when he's away.

This would have been fine if the romance was at least interesting but Yuki and Itsuomi's relationship feels extremely shallow. She falls in love because he's handsome, he falls in love because she's cute and it happens so quickly they were already going out before I could memorise their names. Yuki is cute but shy, like any boring shoujo protagonist and Itsuomi is just boring.

There are some good points: the art is really pretty and I love that this isn't just about Yuki's handicap but about her normal life, but it's not enough to make a good manga.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yubisaki to Renren aurait pu être un très bon manga, dommage qu'il lui manque tout ce qu'un shoujo devrait avoir.

J'adore l'idée de suivre un personnage sourd et de ne pas se concentrer uniquement sur son handicap. Yubisaki to Renren suit le quotidien de Yuki avec son petit-ami et... c'est tout en fait. Elle a des amis, comme Rin (une amie à l'université) et Oushi (son ami d'enfance), mais on en sait si peu sur eux que c'était comme s'ils n'existaient pas du tout. Le seul trait de caractère de Rin est d'être amoureuse de Kyoya et celui d'Oushi est d'être jaloux de la relation entre Rin et Itsuomi, celui de Yuki est d'être amoureux de Itsuomi et celui d'Itsumomi est... c'est une bonne question. Tout ce qu'on sait c'est qu'il est beau, populaire et qu'il aime voyager. Ce qui aurait pu être intéressant, encore une fois, mais comme rien ne se passe autour de ce hobby il donne l'impression d'être un détail. Peut-être qu'on en apprendra davantage sur sa passion plus tard, mais j'ai le sentiment qu'après 5 tomes d'ennui l'auteur aurait pu nous donner quelque chose à nous mettre sous la dent. Parfois Itsuomi part, parfois il revient, mais on ne sait pas vraiment ce qu'il fait quand il est ailleurs.

ça n'aurait pas été si grave si la romance avait au moins été intéressante, mais leur relation est terriblement vide. Elle tombe amoureuse parce qu'il est beau, il tombe amoureux parce qu'elle est mignonne et tout se passe si vite qu'ils étaient déjà en couple alors que je n'avais pas encore retenu leurs prénoms. Yuki est mignonne mais timide, comme n'importe quel protagoniste de shoujo ennuyant et Itsuomi est juste ennuyant.

Il y a quand même quelques points positifs : le dessin est vraiment beau et j'aime beaucoup que l'histoire ne soit pas juste centrée autour du handicap de Yuki, mais plus autour de son quotidien. Mais ce n'est pas suffisant pour faire un bon manga.

Preliminary (9/? eps)

This series is for sub girls. If you don't want a perfect fantasy tall pretty boy dom infantilizing his sub girl from day 1 all touchy-feely without consent like a pickup-artist while criticizing the same thing in simp childhood friend then this story isn't something you'll like. (This series is the sexual harassment vs flirting meme).
It infantilizes its deaf FMC in every way (she has never encountered anything outside Japan online, and the author depicts racist stereotypes in one of the few times when anything abroad is actually depicted).
It uses her deafness as token representation as the sole distinguishing feature of this generic shoujo romance ...
