One day, while rushing to a piano lesson, a girl named Saki collides with someone on the street. As Saki collects herself, the stranger picks up the sheet music Saki dropped, hands it to Saki together with a band-aid, and continues on her way—all without saying a word. Saki is left wondering about the identity of the tall, lovely stranger, only to discover the next day that she is one of her classmates at her new high school. The girl’s name is Kanon, and though she is hearing impaired, she refuses any kind of support or “special treatment” from her teachers or classmates. Over the course of the year, Saki slowly grows closer to Kanon and begins to chip away at her cold exterior. (Source: Kodansha USA)

Read the full take

A girl rushing to a piano lesson bumps into a stranger, and the next day they discover they are classmates. The setup is simple, and the series builds its story around a quiet, patient connection.The strongest element is the care. One of the leads is hard of hearing, and the story treats her perspective with thought and respect, showing how communication shapes everyday life. The pacing lets small gestures carry weight, and the school setting feels lived-in.The weakness is speed. The story moves very slowly, and readers who want strong drama may find it static. Some beats follow familiar school-romance patterns, and the growing feelings are at times more suggested than spoken.If you enjoy gentle yuri with an emotional core, it is a lovely pick. It rewards readers who are happy to slow down and notice small moments. Expect quiet feelings, careful characters and a story that values understanding over drama.
