I love how good this series is at "show, don't tell." Generally a skill that doesn't show up much in manga/anime, so when a series that does it right shows up, it really stands out.
Getting angry about being unable to communicate is one of the biggest sources of racism and bigotry in the real world. I love how this manga is able to take that and explain it so simply, and explain how to avoid it too, without coming right out and saying it. I love the lesson and I love how...
