Story Summary
The heroine of our story, Yuki Itose, is a soft-spoken, always smiling university student, whose world is speechless. She has been hearing impaired since birth, so she does not use words, but gestures, eye contact and touch are her means of communication. He lives a simple life, is popular with his friends, but deep down in his heart, there is a kind of loneliness. He has always wondered, will anyone ever truly understand him?
Suddenly one day, he meets Itsuomi Nagi, a mysterious, handsome and multilingual classmate on the train. He is brave, confident and loves to travel the world. Language is never a barrier for him, but a new way of knowing. Stepping into Yuki's world, the first question he asks is, "How do you say thank you in your language?" From there, a different kind of relationship begins, where feelings speak instead of words.
Itsuomi becomes interested in Yuki's silent world and gradually begins to learn sign language. On the other hand, Yuki feels an unknown emotion, which becomes love and settles in his heart. But self-doubt, family barriers and the reality of linguistic distance come in the way of this relationship. A Sign of Affection is a soft, sensitive love story where love is expressed not in words, but in touch and sight. It is a heartwarming journey that teaches us that even though languages are different, the gestures of love are the same.

I have some feelings about watching A Sign of Affection.
A Sign of Affection anime was a unique experience for me. When I learned at the beginning of the story that the heroine Yuki is hearing impaired, I realized that this story is much deeper than a simple romance. The love that is expressed through her feelings, looks, and gestures, even though it is silent, is deeply embedded in the heart.
I have always thought that it is not possible to build a relationship without language. But this anime taught me that if there is feeling and sincerity, even gestures can become language. The character Itsuomi is very mature and compassionate. She not only loves, but also tries to understand. Maybe people like her are really needed in our society.
Visually, the anime was eye-catching with a light color palette, soft lighting, and every moment was arranged like a poem. The world seen through Yuki's eyes is very calm and deep. The backgrounds are like watercolor paintings that are completely mixed with emotions.
The music was in harmony with the silence, sometimes the sound of a gentle piano, sometimes a continuous calm melody that deepened the emotions. The lack of words seemed to be the biggest sound here.
Overall, A Sign of Affection taught me to think in a new way that love is not just about talking, but also about understanding, accepting, and feeling. This anime is not just entertainment, it is a soft touch to the heart.I'm wrapping up today. Stay well, everyone. See you again with a new anime.
