  2. Choosing the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards

    thenewleafjournal.com/choosing

    After choosing my own 2024 anime awards, I offer my take on the Crunchyroll awards and nominees (their nominees differ greatly from my overall selection).

  3. Story Pile: A Sign of Affection

    You know an anime is going to be a time when just looking up ‘hey, who made this’ is a question with three answers one of which is only available in chunks on fandom wikis because that’s a space where no information is too unreliable to be posted. A SIgn of Affection is a 2024 anime, and it’s a 2019 manga, made by a plural femme authorial identity known as Suu Morishita, which may be two people who each have their own pen names, or may be something else and I don’t have the insight into who or how. The anime and manga were made with the consultancy of Yuzuki Miyazaki (Yuki for short in the translated interviews I’ve seen, which is coincidentally the name of the main character of the series) and now I’ve gotten through what’s normally the first clause of a first sentence.

    A Sign of Affection is a pedestrian romantic love story about two people with a shared interest in communication. He’s an impossibly hot, stylish maybe-biracial language geek who loves to learn different ways to talk to people, and she’s a shut-in college student who’s experiencing her first days interacting with people and learning how they communicate, because oh yeah she’s also deaf.

    Content and Spoiler Warning: I’m going to talk about some of the material that shows up in the later parts of the story, and about how the core romance the story sets up in the first episode plays out to an extent. This isn’t a story built around a dreadful amount of tension and I’m about to dissolve it. Also, this story is light on stuff I’d normally warn about content-wise, but I am going to use the term ‘deaf’ to refer to a character, and you may not be here for that language choice. We are crossing multiple language barriers here.

    For anyone unaware of what that might be, it’s that ‘deaf’ is a term that not every person who cannot hear self-applies. There are people who cannot hear at all who do not consider themselves deaf and there are people whose hearing is only slightly below what we medically diagnose as ‘poor’ that consider themselves deaf. Deafness is a social construct and we’ll talk more about what that means.

  7. Additional Thoughts on A Sign of Affection

    I reviewed the A Sign of Affection anime after having written five articles about hair color in the show. A report on the show’s production gave rise to additional thoughts.

  9. The winter 2024 adaptation of A Sign of Affection gave me five articles about anime hair color. Having written so much about it already, I decided to write a full review of the eseason itself, separate from its great hair color topics.

  10. Yubisaki to Renren is a nice and cute little romcom in college between a world traveling polyglot and a lovely girl who is deaf; alongside showing lots of nice side characters (Rin, Kyouya, Shin, Emma, Oushi) and their own stories. Whilst the show can be sweet to the point of being saccharin and cheesy at times, it also has REALLY poignant scenes about the daily life that Yuki lives; her life as an everyday college girl, and on how the world and society (knowingly or otherwise) can be isolating for those with disabilities. Definitely found this a cute watch.
