Mimi_Starsz
Tadano Hitohito has never been the type to stand out. He's quiet, observant, and perfectly fine, fading into the background of his new high school. But everything changes the moment he meets Shouko Komi - the girl everyone adores but no one truly knows.
To everyone else, Komi is flawless - elegant, untouchable, and impossibly perfect. To Tadano, she's something else entirely: a girl trapped behind her own silence. Beneath the calm surface, he sees the trembling hands, the stolen glances, and the quiet ache of someone desperate to reach out but unable to speak.
When Tadano accidentally discovers her secret - that words don't come easily to her - he makes her a promise: he'll listen to every silence, every hesitation, every unspoken feeling, and help her get to her goal of 100 friends. Together, they begin to build something fragile and real - a friendship that slowly blurs into something more.
In the soft spaces between notes passed under desks, quiet lunches, and shared walks home, Tadano starts to realize that love doesn't always need words. Sometimes, it only needs someone willing to understand the signals no one else can see.
Silent Signals is a slow-burn high school romance about two people learning to speak - not through perfect words, but through the language of trust, patience, and heart.
