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.

[[BlueOni 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 depressive, and others are warned to stay away from him.
Kohei's life begins to change when he runs into the cheerful, outgoing [[RedOni 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 three volumes, two of which are already translated into English by One Peace Books.
