I Hear the Sunspot: Theory of Happiness

I love these characters so much~ What I wanted at the end of the first series/volume finally happened here. Yes, the story does the obligatory "oh no, what if he hates me," and then the love birds don't talk to each other for months, but I think it really works for this series that's about internal loneliness and self-doubt. This series is far more emotional than the first, and the characters are put through the wringer. Taichi has to confront his feelings, Kohei has to come to terms that his hearing may be deteriorating beyond his control, and now we have a new character that cockblocks theromance. Theory of Happiness definitely has a lot more going for it and certain character moments are cheer worthy. Definitely sliding more into the BL genre that it's in, but it also explores a wider world of disabilities and how people with disabilities treat each other differently (like hearing impaired and full on deaf). A worthwhile sequel that will make you fall in love even deeper with these characters.
