A sign of Affection

Hello everyone, here am I presenting a beautiful anime with you all. It's heartwarming and very sweet. The anime is called A sign of Affection, I totally head over heels for this anime. Ever since I have watched this anime I have started to see deaf people differently. This anime has enlightened my thoughts, I am grateful to my niece for bringing this anime to my knowledge. This anime has truly touched my soul, I can not stop appreciating it because it's too good.

I have seen A Silent Voice, but this is nothing similar to that anime because, in that anime, the female lead was bullied. In this anime, we see the healing—a couple that will make your heart flutter. I have not watched this kind of anime before, so it was a roller coaster ride for me. As this is a shoujo anime, it was beautifully written. The name of the anime matches the theme. As our female lead uses sign language, it is seen that when she reads the lips wrong, the words are written backward. This means they have given amazing details to acknowledge the situation of deaf people. I am sharing the trailer with you guys so that you can have a glimpse of it.

Plot

Our main female lead is Yuki Itose; she is a typical student dealing with the pressures of college. One day, she was struggling on the train, and at that time, a guy who was a stranger to her helped her out. His name is Itsuomi Nagi. As time passed, he gradually opened a new world to her—a world that she didn't know about, but she became inspired by him. Gradually, Yuki developed some feelings for Itsuomi. After that, their love story began. Itsuomi started to learn sign language to communicate with Yuki.

Meanwhile, we see the story of Yuki's childhood friend, whose name is Oushi Ashioki. He is secretly in love with Yuki but never had the courage to confess his love to her. He never showed Yuki affection, so she never could find it out. He had some flashbacks of the past when Ashioki and Yuki went to a summer festival when they were kids. Everyone was looking at the fireworks in the sky, enjoying the sound. At that time, Ashioki was looking at Yuki, who was wearing a beautiful yukata. It was also seen that he started to learn sign language so that he could communicate with Yuki better; he always had a soft corner for her, but he never showed it to her. On the summer festival day when Yuki looked at Ashioki he signed "Fool" for this reason Yuki was shocked and asked him to sign again as she could not understand the reason of him call her a fool.

Review

I love how japanese animes shows their tradition events such as summer festival, where we can see how they celebrate this big day. Everyone wears beautiful clothes and all. A sign of Affection is now one of my favourite because of the sweet storyline. There's a love triangle you can say. I really feel for Ashioki if he had confessed earlier then things would have been different. But I also appreciate the main male lead he's a big green flag. Itsuomi is also a good choice for Yuki guys like him are super rare to find. Maybe that's the reasons girls are going crazy over this character.

There are some kissing scenes full of romance which will make you blush. There are not many episodes but I felt it was enough to complete the requirements of the audience. Also the voice dubbing is so good I really appreciate it very much. A relaxing and beautiful anime. I recommend everyone to start watching this anime as soon as possible. This is not a sad story so don't worry about getting a heartbreak.

The anime art style the colorings everything is so vibrant. I like the animation it's perfectly made, I really have not found any faults in the anime nothing to criticize about. I liked how they kept the story simple no obstacles no extra drama, everything went smoothly for all characters. If you are looking for a cute lovey dovey story then this is the best choice.

Thanks for Reading
