A Silent Voice, Vol. 1 by Yoshitoki Oima

5.0

This manga is heartbreaking and worth every single bit of pain. It is a story about bullying related to disability (and trying to make it right again) that is told in a sensitive manner from multiple perspectives. The series as a whole honestly made me sob on multiple occasions. This is a very important story for teenagers and adults alike, but may not be appropriate for younger readers. The art is beautiful and the sign language really pops off the pages. This manga is in part sponsored by the Japanese Federation of the Deaf, so it is sure to be accurate in depicting the struggles of a Deaf character and her family. Koe no Katachi is getting a movie adaptation in 2016! :D
