A Sign Of Affection Episode 5 Review - THAT HAND KISS

Yuki and Itsuomi are so cute together. A majority of the episode is just them getting to know each other and I was still entertained by it! I just like how the romance between them doesn’t have to be comical or extravagant. It could just be calm and chill and I’ll still get diabetes from it. Also, I’m surprised they ate a whole box of Costco pizza.

While Kyouya is a bit worried about the progression between Itsuomi and Yuki’s relationship, I don’t think Itsuomi is a bad person. He’s a bit touchy, but nothing he has done warrants red flags. He’s rather genuine in a way. Kyouya is worried about Yuki because she’s cute; the way he said that guys have this urge to keep cute girls to themselves sort of makes sense? I’m not a man, but I do see why they’re drawn towards cute girls. I can’t really explain it well because I’m speaking from an outside perspective. Well, there’s no denying Yuki is cute, but I feel like Itsuomi is drawn towards her because she’s someone different that he had expected. To be honest, when he had kissed her hand, that came out of left field and I legit gasped and covered my hand. I didn’t expect that scene at all. It clearly shows that Itsuomi does seem to have special feelings for her; Rin even says that his voice when talking to her is affectionate and much different when talking to other girls.

I like that we learn a few more things about both leads. Itsuomi has family in Germany and that he has a very young sister who’s elementary school age. He’s also 22 years old, but he’s still an undergraduate as he’s a second year going onto third year soon. The reason why he’s older than his peers is because of his working holidays that made him take breaks from school. This makes them three years apart as Yuki is 19. In Yuki’s case, Itsuomi and we, the viewers, learn that Yuki’s family doesn’t know sign language and they communicate by other methods like lip reading, writing, gestures, etc. She also reveals that she has a voice, but doesn’t use it because she had been told it sounded weird in the past. This got to me because I understand how she feels. I was teased about my voice when I was younger, and I had a huge complex about it growing up. Right now, I’m accepting of my own voice, but if there’s something I will never do, that is making fun of another’s voice. Whoever made fun of Yuki’s voice needs to get karma splashed onto them.

There’s also a bit of conflict sprinkled in with Emma. She tries to assert her dominance towards Yuki but she doesn’t know her “rival” is deaf. It also seems that Shin likes Emma but she only has eyes for Itsuomi. This weird love square needs to be a bit emphasized more in future episodes because I don’t know why Emma likes Itsuomi and why Shin likes her. There’s also a scene with Oushi and the blonde girl with the Pomeranian. Is that Oushi’s possible love interest if things doesn’t work out with Yuki? I don’t even know this girl’s name or what her relationship with Oushi technically is.

I really liked the progression between the two in this episode. I just hope nothing bad happens next episode. I really love the sweet and soft aura of this show, so please keep it like that! What are your thoughts?

A Sign of Affection Episode 4 Review - THEY WENT TO COSTCO

GUESS WHO WENT TO COSTCO BEFORE WRITING THIS REVIEW? ME! I can’t believe I’d see a Costco of all stores in an anime. I know that Costco is pretty popular in Asian countries, but I never saw it in a fictional story. This is the first time I’ve seen a Costco in an anime and they animated it so beautifully! The way the characters have fun shopping is precisely my reaction whenever I go to Costco with my mom. What was that? Talk about Oushi? Who cares about him? It’s all about Costco (This blog post is NOT sponsored by Costco. I don’t even get sponsored by anybody).

While the episode is still a stepping stone of progression between Yuki and Itsuomi, it’s also one where the characters interact with other characters. Itsuomi and Kyouya’s dynamic is shown here. They clearly do feel like brothers, despite being cousins, with Itsuomi crashing at his place and then stealing food from his fridge. Sounds like what typical adult siblings do when they come over to their sibling’s house. I also like that Kyouya has more screen time here as we get to see what sort of character he is. While he is a handsome cafe owner, he’s also someone who cares and is concerned for others. While he cares about Itsuomi, he knows what he’s like, which is why he is concerned for Yuki because he doesn’t want her to experience the same sort of situation that other girls who confessed to Itsuomi had. His interaction with Rin was cute, but it does feel like it’s gonna be a slower slow burn compared to Yuki and Itsuomi. Also, Kyouya and Rin’s faces whenever they saw Yuki and Itsuomi’s skinship was hilarious.

The part with Emma in the beginning fooled me so bad. I thought she was going to do something that will cause conflict, but Itsuomi legit just left him at his house as he crashed his cousin’s place. This caused Emma to get upset. The next day, Emma calls Shin and they have steak and wine together as the former grumble about Itsuomi not accepting her feelings. Emma seems to be a popular girl, but it’s obvious she’s not going to go out with Itsuomi. I do wonder if Emma and Shin will get together…

Oh boy, Oushi… Oushi (autocorrect, stop changing his name to sushi) sort of shows off why he’s not going to get together with Yuki. He’s nosy and a bit intrusive, which is what Yuki doesn’t like. He likes her, but she doesn’t feel the same way as she’s fed up with his attitude and behavior towards her over the years she has known him. I do think Oushi is a bit hypocritical with the way he told Itsuomi to not hug behind her since she’d get scared; sir, you threw TWO tissues at Yuki last episodes. You also did karate chops on her head and played with her hair when she didn’t want you to. Sir, you have NO rights to be talking like that.

Like always, the Yuki and Itsuomi moments are adorable. There is foreshadowing that something bad could happen with the two as Kyouya worries about them. I’m a bit worried because of this, especially with what’s going on next episode via preview. I don’t think Itsuomi is manipulative or a jerk, but I do wonder what sort of conflict would happen between the two. I just hope it’s not messy.

Do you think there’s going to be conflict approaching their way soon? Do you think Rin and Kyouya are going to get together? Do you think Oushi’s a jerk? What are your thoughts on this episode?
