Here’s a little surprise for all you readers, a side project I (Heleleo) have been working on with AnonBlack from Futari wa Pretty Anon! A million thanks to AB for not only Translating, but cleaning and helping TS as well! Check out all their cool stuff at their site, Futrari Wa Pretty Anon
“A one-shot about a middle school class that accepts a girl with impaired hearing. Everything is not as happy as it seems. Although this one-shot won the 80th Weekly Shounen Magazine Newbie Best Mangaka Award, the vector of the content made it difficult for publication on any manga magazine, until it was picked up, after months of legal dispute, by the February edition of Bessatsu Shounen Magazine, where it got first place despite its being a one-shot. This one-shot was recently publicized again on the 12th edition of the 2013 Weekly Shounen Magazine.” – myanimelist
I HIGHLY recommend giving this a read. It’s short (~60pages) and quite good. Done by the same author as a series called Mardock Scramble. Got a lotta press both on the internet and off, and caught my eye. Raws are from Weekly Shounen Magazine, so not the best, but AB improved them 100 times over.
Take a look, you won’t regret it! It’ll be on batoto soon enough!

Short but poignant and powerful message. I hope the mangaka will write another one.

Oh, I’ve got a bad case of the feels now.
BTW I feel that it should have be noted that the sign that Shouya signed on page 59 and got all red in the face over was probably “marry”
Well, I actually am not 100% sure about the Japanese sign for MARRY; but, Shouya definitely fucked up and signed something embarrassing, it was neither JSL nor ASL for FRIEND, and yet it matched ASL for MARRY; I’m fairly confident he asked to marry (or at least go out with) her.
