Synopsis of A Sign of Affection

Yuki is a typical university student, whose world unfolds around her friends, social media and the latest sales. But when a chance encounter on the subway leads her to meet friend-of-a-friend and fellow student Itsuomi-san, her world begins to broaden. But even though Itsuomi-kun speaks three languages, sign language isn’t one of them. Can the two learn to communicate the feelings that are emerging between them?
