聲の形 7 Koe no Katachi 7 by Yoshitoki Oima
5.0
and that's it!
great ending with just the right tone of hope and promise. i loved to see the change in Shoya's character actually come into the light - him taking intiative and facing things, instead of avoiding uncomfortable situations and responsibility - , especially that scene where the x's on other people's faces started falling away. that was such a great visual storytelling element
and seeing the more playful and happy side of Shoko was so good to see, girl deserves the world and nothing less. i've grown quite fond of all the other characters as well, and i do feel a bit sad i have to let them go now
overall, i really think this is the type of story i won't easily forget about. it took its themes seriously, wasn't afraid to go to dark and uncomfortable places at times and raised questions about the possibility of growth that are absolutely universal, but also really resonated with me personally. i'm super glad i got to read it!
