The moon on a rainy night is so far an amazing read (23 chapters). It takes place in high school and is pretty standard when it comes to manga but with a twist, one of the characters, Kanon, has a disability, namely she’s deaf and there are certain things in a normal day to day life that is much more difficult for someone with a hearing disability. The other girl, Saki, is pretty much from the beginning hinted at being gay but without stating it. This makes for a pretty interesting plot when these two find each other. Kanon who is struggling with getting byin class cuz of her hearing disability and Saki who’s feelings for Kanon grows to be more than friendly. Saki is also an avid learner of the piano so there are some themes around that as well as themes surrounding equality vs fairness which is just great to read.

The cast of The moon on a rainy night is quite colourful, it starts off mostly focusing on the two girls as they grow closer but the mangaka does a good job of introducing more and more characters, without losing sight of the main characters, and giving them depth. There’s even an older (older than our main character, so not very old) lesbian woman who becomes a part of the story and works like a “mentor” sort of for mc when she’s struggling with lgbtq issues. Also shoutout to great parents in this story!

If you like a story with focus on diversity, disability, lgbtq, piano and maybe a tad philosophy then give this amazing story a read. Would recommend with all my heart. Also the girls are just so darn cute I just cannot!!!

9/10 as of now, might become a favourite in the future if I like it as much as now to the end, might even become a 10/10 if they can stick the landing.
