Okay, let's talk about A Sign of Affection. And more specifically, its length. Are we the only ones feeling slightly overwhelmed by the number of volumes?
Don't get us wrong! The story is cute. Yuki and Itsuomi are absolutely adorable.
The Allure of A Sign of Affection
It's a heartwarming romance. Itsuomi's openness and Yuki's journey are really endearing.
The way A Sign of Affection explores communication barriers is great. We love the representation of deafness in such a beautiful way.
But... How Many Volumes? Really?
Here's where our "unpopular opinion" comes in. Does it *really* need so many volumes?
Like, are we dragging out the will-they-won't-they just a tad too long? We're getting a little impatient!
Some mangas manage to tell fantastic stories in fewer volumes. Think tighter pacing and more impactful moments.
We understand character development takes time. But are we getting *that* much more depth with each new release?
The Middle Ground: Storytelling vs. Pacing
Maybe we're just spoiled by shorter series. Or maybe we have zero patience. Probably both.
There's a balance, right? Between fleshing out the world and keeping readers engaged.
We crave a satisfying conclusion. A truly earned "happily ever after" for Yuki and Itsuomi.
However, waiting for the next volume feels like an eternity. Are we alone in this frustration?
The Eternal Question: Is It Worth the Wait?
That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? Is the slow burn worth the payoff?
Many fans clearly think so! They are enjoying every step of Yuki and Itsuomi's relationship.
And hey, more content isn't always bad! Especially if you are a die-hard fan of A Sign of Affection.
Maybe we just need to adjust our expectations. Embrace the slow and steady pace.
Or maybe we secretly hope the author is wrapping things up soon. Just a little bit soon!
The Verdict (For Now)
We're still on board with A Sign of Affection. We can't deny the charm and sincerity.
We'll continue to cheer for Yuki and Itsuomi. Even if we are doing so while tapping our feet impatiently.
But secretly, we're crossing our fingers. Hoping the ending will be epic enough to justify the long journey.
So, what do you think? Too many volumes, or just right? Let us know in the comments!
Maybe we're just being grumpy manga readers. Or maybe we have a point. You decide!
Regardless, we'll be there when the final volume drops. Ready to see how this lovely story concludes.
And if it's amazing? We will gladly eat our words! And maybe even buy the whole series again!
Because in the end, love conquers all. Even our impatience with lengthy manga series. Right?
