    Summary

    Aizawa Shouta has lived in rural Yuugen his entire life and has found himself shunned and hated by most of the town and by the summer before the last year of high school, he's counting the days until he can leave this terrible place and the past he's created within it. Family life is dysfunctional at best, and Shouta has essentially been pushed out of the community.

    Plans are interrupted, though, when the Yamada family moves into the forever-vacant house across the street, bringing the deaf Yamada "Mic" Hizashi along with them. Very quickly, Shouta finds his life intertwining with the boy across the street. It's there that it starts, in the summer before school starts, and from there Hizashi brings a whirlwind into Shouta's life as Shouta struggles to communicate and Hizashi tries to survive the cultural shock of moving to a place where people have hardly even heard of deaf kids. Complete with high school drama, dysfunctional family relationships, sign language, struggles to leave a small town, and romance.
