A story that explores the meaning of distance. I really love the narrative, it’s so poetic and beautiful. The characters interactions are also portrayed funnily and endearingly. The emotions depicted are sure to touch viewers hearts and make you want to watch the next episode right away, haha. It’s a must watch for anyone who loves romantic stories with beautiful visuals. It feels refreshing to watch. And hopefully, the characters development is portrayed well.

Two people from different worlds but are closer than they think—is the vibe the first episode gave. Itsuomi is too forward! And Yuki is very cute! It gives you the flutters, something to anticipate between the characters. Interesting start to a romance anime!

The first episode is a little slow-paced, but it’s a good start to get you comfortable in Yuki-chan’s world. It also sets the tone well for both Itsuomi and Yuki, and how they differ in terms of world view. The sound direction is also something worth paying attention to.

First Episode opens with a cute intro song and soft pastel visuals that create a calm, romantic mood. The first encounter between the leads is sweet and heart-fluttering, setting the tone for a gentle romance. Fans of romantic anime will likely enjoy this.

It’s simply heartwarming. Even after so many rewatches I still can’t get over the night scene where itsuomi is walking yuki home in this episode. It’s like watching two people opening their hearts to each other despite of the problems that might rise, they still do it anyways.

At first, this anime reminded me of A Silent Voice, but it focuses more on romance and friendship. Itsuomi seems kind and easygoing, which makes Yuki want to know him better. I love Yuki’s excited reactions, so cute! If you like soft visuals and sweet romance, this one’s for you.

The first episode beautifully introduces Yuki and Itsu's personalities. Their shy, heatwarming interactions make you smile instantly, and the emotions feel so genuine.

The chemistry between the two characters feels natural and heartwarming. Instead of dramatic conflict, the story focuses on small, meaningful interactions—especially Itsuomi’s genuine effort to communicate with Yuki. Overall, the first episode is tender, emotionally warm, and set

It is a must watch in case you want a romance that is pure, high-effort and breathtaking to watch. It is the type of a performance that makes you remember how much can be told without uttering a word.

a soft, gentle romance with a calm pace and sweet vibes.
But honestly, it might feel too slow and too fluffy if that’s not your thing. Pretty visuals, nice concept, just not very engaging if you want stronger tension or drama.

This is a great start for the anime. It sets up the story by introducing the characters when they first meet on the train. This is a slow pace story, but unique and refreshing.

Such a good introduction to the Yuki as the main character, born disabled she only can communicate with sign language and in every shoujo anime/manga the encounter with Itsuomi in the most unpredicatable and cute way!
