Eu não sei fazer collab gente, me perdoem meu povo, eu não sei! :'))) Mas até depois de uns minutos lutando com o fundo que a riri fez, não é que ficou bom? Ficou uma capa bem lindinha (ainda mais com esses dois na capa, né?)

⟅28.05.2024 — eu fiz vários testes antes de entregar esse resultado, acho que a ideia inicial permaneceu. na procura dos kanjis do título dessa capa acabei descobrindo um mundo totalmente novo de kanjis que nunca nem tinha ouvido falar, deu saudades de quando eu estudava mais esse idioma. Minha primeira capa do projeto, estou muito emocionado :') amo ser multifandom <333
These hands that hold me, those eyes that gaze upon me… will see yet another new, uncharted world. I don’t want you to think I only see what’s around me, so I won’t say it to you, but I’ve even fallen in love with looking up at your face like this. Every expression you show me drenches me in a shower of light. On this day, February 21st, our worlds came together as one.

They're just so cute 🥺
a sign of affection media review: Deaf representation (under cut long lots of points to discuss)
a sign of affection is anime about a Deaf college student yuki.
they showed the sign language on screen most of the time characters were signing. (apparently creator worked with Deaf friend to make sure signs were accurate. don't know japanese or signed japanese so can't say if signing was correct.)
good depiction of hearing aids & auditory processing. when yuki wears her hearing aids she can hear some sounds but she can't tell where they are coming from & she has trouble identifying sounds (& sounds don't form words).
good respectful about yuki's voice. yuki character have voice actor narrate her thoughts & signs out loud but yuki doesn't speak. she explains one point she copy people's mouth shape learn to speak but she has deaf accent. she only uses voice with her family.
okay with lip reading depiction. don't know if japanese is easier to lipread than english. but yuki mainly understands others with lipreading only no sound cues. is only shown make mistakes or misunderstand few times. good job she can't lip read when character wears masks or mouth not in her sight line.
sad there is not more sign. for having multiple Deaf & signing characters, not much sign language presence. even when talk to yuki characters know sign language not always sign to her. also usually talk to her instead of write . burden is on yuki for communication. also even yuki not sign very much usually type on phone or gesture.
which relate to next point: not good Deaf community representation. yuki went to Deaf school & has Deaf friends but hardly ever see her Deaf friends & her interact with Deaf community.
she in mainstream college setting no interpreter . all hearing friends now & again communicate way is most convenient for them. yuki not participate in conversations a lot & nearly always hear from yuki is just internal monologue. Deaf character is isolated.
one more thing yuki infantilized. she is shorter than most other characters include other girl characters (on its own not problem just how fit into whole character). have a signing character say Deaf people should not go out into college/hearing world & should be kept safe, & same character intervenes in situations involving Deaf characters without their permission. (think that character overall shown as be negative behavior though.)
last point: captions. maybe just version i watch but subtitles only translation of the spoken japanese. no caption for sound effects/music which ironic given is show about Deaf character. think would be accessible to Deaf audience especially when sounds sometimes important to scene.
overall: cute story, okay representation. probably made for hearing audience. definite things would like to see handle better but pretty good overall.
No Anime What Do?😶
So on Tuesday and Weds this season I don't have any anime I am watching cause of anime I have dropped or that I only had one on that day and then dropped it.😅
Anyway I thought i would share some of my fav animes in my fav genres. Maybe someone will discover a hidden gem among my treasures.🧐
Okay so let's start with Rom Coms. This one is gonna start controversy immediately but if you see my icon...then you know...I got a problem.😏
Ōkami shojō to Kuro Oiji
DANGER DANGER there is nothing good about this man right here. Well I mean unless you count that his seiyuu is Sakurai Takahiro-san...but I digress. He is trash. Hot trash but trash. This is considered one of the worst rom coms of all time...so why is it on my list?😳
Cause once upon a time I fell for guys like this. I knew they were no good but something about them just kept me hanging around. Make no mistake though, I never dated one, but had them as friends. That was enough.😬
Ore wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo
Orisuke aka The Bench anime. For me this would be the top anime in this list...but Kyoya said no so you know...but I digress.😄
Once again I do not spoil any plot, but I will say this for sure. This is the only anime I have ever watched where one season and a short movie was enough to tie up everything so perfectly that they need nothing else. Not even an OVA! Now that is a miracle nowadays!😘
Ore Monogatori
There has never been a time that I have watched Oremo that I have not cried. I know what is gonna happen but I still tear up cause as silly and unrealistic as Takeo looks, his heart is made of pure gold and that is what carries the series.🥰
The other part of this anime that makes it good is the friendship between Takeo and his bestie Suna. As different as they look they get along better than most besties do!😁
Itazura na Kiss
How about a rom com that starts in high school and goes 24 episodes to a happy ending? Yeah they exist but you have to deal with another problematic tsundere boy that's almost as bad a Kyoya. 😋
Okay Naoki is seriously better than Kyoya which is why he gets the happy ending. It is work for the viewer to get through it though but it is worth it. Oh and did I mention this is also a live action and yes I have seen it and yes I am obsessed with the actor that plays Naoki.😍
Yubisaki to Renren
Okay last one and this one is more new than the other four. This is less comedy and more romance compared to the others four I am showcasing. The feels are for real and my heart clenched more than once watching these two and their budding romance!😊
I mean look at these two! If this is not squee worthy I don't know what is! That fact that they are both college age gives the whole story and fresh take on their relationship. Its nice to see the maturity too!😉
As I stated these are not the ones that everyone knows or watches but then again if you know the name of my blog you will get it. Also if you are worried that I didn't include any BL here, don't worry that is a different list all together!😆
My irl friend and I do this thing where we bonk each other’s heads like this:
This is Yuki
Yuki loves her personal space
This is Itsuomi
ITSUOMI ALSO LOVES YUKI’S PERSONAL SPACE
Ya girl's watching A Sign of Affection
I'm not even five minutes in and I would already die for Yuki
