Synopsis:
Kai Yuuki is in his final year in university. One day, the sound of beautiful music attracted his attention. It turns out that Sae Hagio is playing violin in the campus. Contrast to her pretty looks and the sweet music she plays, her personality is somewhat rather arrogant and rude. This is due to the fact that she lost her hearing four years ago and since then, she shuts herself from the world. Thereafter, she often communicates in vulgar sign language. In place of his best friend who has dated Sae but unable to make it, Kai accompanies Sae to a theme park and starts to discover her soft side. Nevertheless, Kai already has a girlfriend who's older than him.

PhoEnix's Comments:
Set in a university with all young casts - how good it is to be youthful! Kou Shibasaki is not pretty but she's cool. As for Satoshi Tsumabuki, needless to say, he's absolutely cute and shiny. There's a small appearance by Takashi Kashiwabara as Kai's love rival (the ex-boyfriend of his current girlfriend).

PhoEnix's Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
