Anime : A Sign of Affection

©森下suu・講談社/ゆびさきと恋々製作委員会

A new anime starting in January 2024.
It is an adaptation of a manga that depicts a romance between a hearing-impaired girl and a able-bodied boy.

The series features scenes with significant meaning conveyed through sign language. A designated position for a sign language animator ensures the meticulous depiction of these moments. The anime sheds light on the inconveniences and challenges faced by the hearing-impaired, which often go unnoticed by those without such conditions. Various aspects make the viewer more aware of these challenges within the characters' daily lives.

The subtle and delicate portrayal of the tender romance between the female protagonist and the male lead, centered around their inner monologues, adds depth to the narrative. The original manga is currently ongoing (up to volume 10), suggesting that the anime may not reach a conclusion as well, but it's a series worth watching.

Produced by AJIADO("Kakushigoto"), directed and storyboarded by Murano Yuta("Kakushigoto": Director), with composition and screenplay by Yonaiyama Yoko("Umamusume: Pretty Derby":Screenplay). The voice cast includes Morohoshi Sumire ("The Promised Neverland": Emma), Miyazaki Yu("100 sleeping princes & the kingdom of dreams":Kiel), Otsuka Takeo("Run with the Wind":Kurahara Kakeru), Osaka Ryota("Ace of Diamond" : Sawamura Eijun), Hondo Kaede ("Zombieland Saga": Minamoto Sakura), Toyama Nao ("My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU":  Yuigahama Yui), Hatanaka Tasuku("My Hero Academia": Kaminari Denki), and others.
