      Plot


      Yuki Itose is a university student with congenital hearing loss. Besides sign language, she communicates through text and lip reading.

The story revolves around Yuki as she narrates her silent world, and the people around her.

      Development


      In an interview with Kodansha USA, the author duo Suu Morishita stated that they decided to make the main theme sign language since they were both interested in the idea. However, since neither of them had much experience with sign language, they did research, which included reading books on the subject, interviewing teachers, and getting someone to supervise how it was used.
      When it came to the art, they decided to use Copic Multiliner brown markers for the outlines and Dr. Ph. Martin's color ink for the coloring because they felt it gave the art a "soft and delicate" style.
