聲の形 3 [Koe no Katachi 3] by Yoshitoki Oima
5.0

I finally managed to get hold of the whole series so I've read no 1 and 2 again to recap. I enjoyed the first one alot more this time round, I think that having the context of book 2 helped me see the actions in 1 as less comedic.

Anyway, book 3. Again, the artwork is really nice and it's easy to understand what is going on by the characters facial expressions.

Sometimes with manga I have a problem seeing them as real people, their actions just seem nonsense. But, not in this case, I really can see these as real people. The final scene has had a bit of stick about it not being realistic, but I can really see this being true. Dodging something obvious to try to avoid an awkward situation.

It was interesting, and a good choice to bring Naoka back. Not everyone changes when they grow up and become a better person!

I'm going to move straight into volume 4!

Highly recommended for slice of life fans.
