Kodansha USA licensed the manga and describes the story:
One rainy night, Saki was rushing to take piano lessons when she bumped into a beautiful girl with long hair, dropping her sheet music in the process. Saki stammered an apology, but the girl just returned her music and left without a word. Saki begins her first day of high school the next morning, only to find the stranger from the night before sitting at the table next to her. She learned that the girl's name was Kanon and that she was not completely deaf but very hard of hearing. Although Kanon needs to get close to people to read their lips, she tends to push people away with her cold attitude. Through a kind gesture, Saki gradually begins to tear down the walls around Kanon, even as she feels something new blooming inside her.
Kuzushiro launched the manga on Kodansha's Comic Days website in June 2021. Kodansha published the manga's seventh compiled book volume on June 19 and will publish the eighth compiled book volume on November 20.
Kuzushiro also composed Egao no Taenai Shokuba Desu, Chihaya-san wa Sono Mama de Ii (You're Fine the Way) You Are, Chihaya-san), Living With My Brother's Wife (Ani no Yome to Kurashiteimasu.), Tobaku Senpai Nani Kakeru?, and the manga Akuma no Mama (Mama Akuma).
