These days, with the abundance of anime releases that happen, the shojo genre just does not get the appreciation it should. Once in a while though, a classic shows up that reminds us of the golden age of shojo, the era of the Kimagure Orange Roads. A Sign Of Affection is one of those and based on what we’ve seen so far, it’s set to be the shojo of 2024.
The plot consists of a deaf college aged girl named Yuki Itose and her romance with Itsuomi Nagi, a fellow student at her college. Yuki has always lived life protected by those around her. Because of her upbringing, she never felt unsafe or alone. However, being emotionally bubble wrapped led her to be curious about what life outside her comfort zone is like. Enter a tall handsome man who has no worries for personal space in the best way possible.
