A Sign of Affection, Vol 2 continues to charm readers with its delightful blend of romance and representation. The cuteness factor remains high as we follow Yuki and Itsuomi's evolving relationship, and I’m thoroughly enjoying the journey.

One of the standout aspects of this series is how fluidly sign language is incorporated into the narrative. The seamless integration allows readers to follow along and appreciate the unique communication style of the characters, enriching the storytelling experience. The art style is simply enchanting, with beautifully illustrated panels that capture a wide range of emotions.

However, I have some reservations about the depiction of Yuki's feelings. The instant-love she experiences feels slightly rushed; it’s hard to reconcile her deep interest in Itsuomi given how little she truly knows about him. This rushed development makes me wary of his intentions, leaving me questioning the authenticity of their friendship. 

Despite these concerns, I am invested in the story and eager to see how their relationship unfolds. The narrative's charm and the intriguing dynamics keep me turning the pages.
