Shino Can't Say Her Name
by Shuzo Oshimi
A short manga about a girl named Shino and her speech impediment that keeps her from pronouncing her own name.
Personally, this one didn't do a whole lot for me. I haven't seen too many literary representations of characters that stutter, so this was a cool thing to experience. I also liked the importance of music in this one and how it helped Shino find her voice. Beyond these couple things, I wasn't too enthused with anything. I didn't get attached to any of the three main characters (Shino, Kayo, or Kikuchi) throughout the story, so there wasn't really anything for me to grab onto.
Overall, "Shino Can't Say Her Name" was an alright manga with some good representation of those with dysphemia. However, there wasn't anything that I really loved about the story and found pretty much every part of this manga to be lackluster.
