I Hear the Sunspot

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

I Hear the Sunspot (2024, Japan)

Directors: Fuga Yaegashi, Makino Masaru & Takanobu Harashima

Writer: Izumi Kawasaki (based on the manga by Yuki Fumino)

Mini-review:

I remember reading and liking this manga a million years ago, but I actually think the drama is even better. It puts the romance on the back-burner, choosing to focus on the character development. As a result, the story doesn't feel rushed at all and the characters behave in ways that feel realistic. The writer also makes an effort to showcase the difficulties deaf and hard of hearing people face in Japan, a country that's not always understanding nor welcoming towards disabilities. I'm not saying it's a perfect drama; for example, I didn't feel much chemistry between the leads, even though their performances were solid. But still, it's clear that a lot of care went into making I Hear the Sunspot.

Happy 10th Anniversary to “Shokugeki no Soma” 🎉🍳💕❤️

I think it’s...rather clear that this manga/anime holds a lot of importance to me and I wouldn’t want it to be missing in my life. The joy I’ve got out of it and the memories I’ve made are just too precious!

So, given the occasion that it has been exactly 10 years ever since Shokugeki got published in Shonen Jump today....I just had to do a tribute-piece somehow   ;v;

I tried my very best on this...and I very much hope you like it! 💕❤️✨

Oh, hey, there's Grusha! I was wondering when he'd show up! (Maybe he's teaming up with Penny against one of the E4 too?)

He'll be voiced by Chiaki Kobayashi and Penny's VA is Ryo Hirohashi!
