This reminded me a lot of A Silent Voice so if you like that manga series I recommend picking this up too. Komi, one of the main characters, has severe social anxiety and so generally doesn't use her voice to speak which I really loved seeing kin this manga. However, the language isn't massively mental health-friendly. Komi has social anxiety and the main character, even though his intentions are good, talks about wanting to "fix" her and that doesn't sit right with me. Also, Komi is often drawn as angry which was a bit annoying.
Overall, this is a really wholesome manga about making friends and the different aspects of friendship. It also shines a light on getting to know people before you judge them. I really enjoyed this so I'll definitely continue the series in the future!
