A Silent Voice, Vol. 1 by Yoshitoki Oima

5.0

I watched the movie awhile ago and it broke me. I don't know why I thought reading the manga would be any different. A heartbreaking tale about the long term impacts on bullying, not just on the victim, but the perpetrator and the bystanders. So many people had to make bad choices for Shoya's bullying to get as bad as it was, and yet those same people think it justifies their actions to him after the object of his bullying transfers. It's kind of shocking to me how hostile everyone in this world is to deaf culture.
