comment
Kohei Sugihara is a college student often isolated and misunderstood due to his hearing impairment. The strange and occasionally outright hostile treatment other students have given him has made him reserved and lonely, which in turn has made people misunderstand him even more: he is accused of being antisocial and depressing, and others are warned to stay away from him.Kohei's life begins to change when he runs into the cheerful, outgoing Taichi Sagawa, who agrees to be his note taker—somebody who takes notes on lectures for someone with a hearing disability—if he brings him lunch every day. As time goes on, the two begin spending more and more time together, and a friendship slowly grows into something more.I Hear the Sunspot (Hidamari ga Kikoeru) is an ongoing manga series written and illustrated by Yuki Fumino. It began serialization in Canna during 2013. The manga currently has five volumes translated into English by One Peace Books.

 I Hear The Sunspot (Manga) / int_11d671f6
comment
Stopped Caring: Kohei, in a way. He became incredibly depressed and lonely after developing his hearing disability and pretty much gave up on ever living life the way he used to or making connections with other people...until Taichi, of course.

comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The absolute least subtle line in the entire manga... Could also possibly count as Foreshadowing...however, considering the genre of this manga, everyone already knew what was going to happen. As well as that this line was obviously not talking only about falling down stairs.

Chiba. He's incredibly pricky and stern to Taichi concerning his work and can make rather harsh comments, but as Tendou points out, he's simply brutally honest and doesn't hate Taichi. Taichi himself realizes this after Chiba takes him back after Taichi got lost and treats him to a meal.

I Just Want to Have Friends: Maya, who is pleased when she finally meets Kohei, somebody who understands her and who she is happy to call her first real friend. Kohei almost fits in this trope but doesn't, considering he Stopped Caring about being friends with people until Taichi.

Tomboy and Girly Girl: The two major named female characters, Maya and Kouhei's ex Ena, are this respectively. Maya has shorter hair and is very abrasive toward Taichi, even after acknowledging him, while Ena has longer hair and is a gentle girl who gets along with Taichi pretty much immediately after their first meeting.

Anguished Declaration of Love
 I Hear The Sunspot (Manga) / int_361a1d26
comment
Anguished Declaration of Love: Although Kohei's romantic feelings for Taichi were already made clear in the first volume, this only truly happens in Theory of Happiness. And with double the anguish, considering it turns into a mutual declaration. Maya sort of plays with this. After finding out that Kohei likes Taichi, she implies that she likes Kohei. However, she never states it explicitly, and Kohei seems oblivious to the fact that she could have another reason for wanting to break up him and Taichi other than just disliking Taichi.

Gayngst: Surprisingly averted in Kohei's case. His angst has nothing to do with his sexual orientation and everything to do with his hearing disability. And when he does angst about his love life, it's because he thinks Taichi doesn't love him back, not because Taichi is a boy.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 I Hear The Sunspot (Manga) / int_4781adbb
comment
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Maya, arguably. She acts extremely unpleasantly at times, but she always has Kohei's best interests in mind. Eventually it's made clear that she doesn't truly mean harm to anyone, but has developed an angry exterior since she's constantly misunderstood due to her hearing impairment. Chiba. He's incredibly pricky and stern to Taichi concerning his work and can make rather harsh comments, but as Tendou points out, he's simply brutally honest and doesn't hate Taichi. Taichi himself realizes this after Chiba takes him back after Taichi got lost and treats him to a meal.

I Just Want to Be Normal: Both Kohei and Maya, who wish they didn't have a hearing impairment. However, the former stops being an example of this trope after he explains that Taichi makes him so happy he now feels like all his life's struggles are worth it, and that if he could do his life over again with the opportunity of being "normal," he wouldn't.

Big Damn Kiss: Kohei kisses Taichi in the first volume in order to confess his feelings. Unfortunately, the latter becomes extremely confused about his own feelings and is uncertain if he returns them. The kiss they have in Theory of Happiness probably counts more, since by this point Taichi has decided he loves Kohei back.

comment
Heel–Face Turn: Maya. Although she was never exactly a villain, she was extremely rude to Taichi, partially because she simply disliked his brash personality and partially because she liked Kohei and couldn't understand why Kohei liked Taichi more than her. However, after Kohei explains how happy Taichi has made him, she begins to understand she was in the wrong for trying to mess up their relationship. Maya turns nicer for good when Taichi shocks her by making her feel more understood about her hearing impairment.

Cannot Spit It Out
 I Hear The Sunspot (Manga) / int_653c5c73
comment
Cannot Spit It Out: Taichi. Even though he's suspected since the beginning that he may return some (or all) of Kohei's feelings, he refuses to say so to Kohei, and whenever something slips out, he denies he ever said it. Somewhat subverted since Taichi does confess when he realizes he's actually in love with Kohei. But perhaps this trope still counts since he didn't confess until Kohei first made a second confession?

Green-Eyed Epiphany: Downplayed. Taichi comes to accept that he loves Kohei back once he thinks Kohei has a girlfriend. Although his jealousy is not vicious or exaggerated, he becomes extremely depressed at the thought of this. Also played with in that Taichi already seemed to have some suspicions about his feelings and made ambiguous comments about "not hating" when Kohei kissed him.

Boyfriend Bluff: In Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Ena asks Kouhei to pretend to be her boyfriend to discourage a stalker that has been harassing her. However, Kouhei firmly refuses and instead proposes that he might find other ways to help, but not that, because he doesn't want to hurt Taichi's feelings. In the end, Taichi is the one to come see Ena and protects her from the stalker instead.

Bisexual Love Triangle: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, introduces Ena, Kouhei's ex-girlfriend. Hearing that she was Kouhei's ex makes Taichi jealous enough that he immediately finds an excuse to leave. And even though Kouhei makes it clear that he's unavailable and no longer loves her back (even if he still treats her as a friend), Ena still harbors feelings for him. Interestingly, despite arguably being love rivals, Ena and Taichi get along very well.

Abusive Parents
 I Hear The Sunspot (Manga) / int_b11ac9f5
comment
Abusive Parents: Taichi's Parental Substitute, his grandfather, comes off as emotionally abusive in his only scene so far. It's slightly ambiguous, as it could also be taken as an older man with a more stern view of life trying to point his grandson in the right direction the only way he knows how; however, considering his words point Taichi in the exact wrong direction and severely hurt him, it seems he's meant to be presented as emotionally abusive. He calls Taichi "lonely and needy," says he can't "go crying" about social issues he's having and that he needs to "get over it" because "the world isn't going to change for him," and indirectly calls him stupid.

Smarter Than You Look: Taichi, psychologically. He comes off as brash and careless, but he's incredibly skilled at sympathizing with other people and understanding parts of their struggles nobody else notices.

Ambiguously Bi: Taichi. Interestingly, unlike most examples of this trope, it's his attraction to men that is canon since he eventually falls in love with Kohei. However, Taichi also seems to be mildly envious of Kohei's popularity with girls, and he gets notably flustered with a Luminescent Blush when he thinks Miho likes him.

Mistaken for Romance: Two instances. The first time happened in Theory of Happiness, where Yoko mistook Kouhei's mom for his girlfriend. The second time is in Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, where Enami, a co-worker at Taichi's company, saw Kouhei and Ena going with each other and assumed that Ena is his girlfriend.

Longing Look: Kohei ends up making these at Taichi a lot.
