Every time I pick up A Sign of Affection, I’m reminded why this manga holds a special place in my heart—it’s an absolute gem! Volume 5 continues to deliver the same level of adorableness that I’ve come to expect from this series. While nothing major happens plot-wise, it’s so wonderfully wholesome and cute that I can’t help but be obsessed. 

The dynamic between Yuki and Itsuomi remains endearing, and their small, heartfelt moments feel so genuine that they bring a smile to my face. The artwork, as always, beautifully captures the emotions and tender exchanges between the characters, enhancing the overall charm of the story. 

Although this volume leans more on maintaining the status quo, I’m eagerly hoping for the narrative to pick up in future volumes. I’m especially looking forward to seeing how their relationship evolves, both emotionally and in terms of the challenges they face as a couple. 

A Sign of Affection consistently brings a blend of sweetness and authenticity that’s hard to find, making it one of my all-time favorite manga series. I can’t wait to see where their journey leads next!
