This hurt my heart, even though I had watched the movie before starting reading this. It still has the same affect on me. I did like the added bit of detail that was left out in the movie. I look forward to reading the rest.

I'm doing a project in class on the representation of disability in manga. So far there seems to be more manga about hearing impairments than anything else. The first volume is all back story, I'd be interested in reading the rest because the anime is so good.

Zajímavý vhled od života kluka, který jen tak, aby se nenudil, šikanuje ostatní - dokud se sám nestane terčem šikany. Ale až v podstatě do konce jsem měla strašný zmatek v některých postavách a je škoda, že se to v sérii tolik natahuje, tady to je opravdu jen „úvod".

Graphic novels/manga are so captivating. I didn't read many last year, and it's sad to imagine the incredible storytelling I overlooked. But, it's never too late! A Silent Voice served as the perfect reentry into the genre with its poignant narrative and raw exploration of childhood, friendships and bullying. The manga challenges readers to reconsider forgiveness and second chances. I'm eager to see the evolution of Shoya and Shoko's dynamic in the upcoming volumes.
