It’s been five years since Shoya Ishida bullied Shoko Nishimiya so badly she left their elementary school, because of one simple difference between them: Shoya can hear, and Shoko can’t. In the intervening time, Shoya’s life has changed completely. Shunned by his friends, Shoya’s longed for the chance to make up for his cruelty. When it finally comes, will he find the voice to tell Shoko he’s changed? And will Shoko listen?

A Difficult, but Timely Manga on the Horror of Bullying

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

Just as in the first volume, the mangaka Yoshitoki Ooima manages to keep me both fascinated and enraged. On both the first read a few years back, and this re-read through the volume, I just tore through the volume. It was that absorbing and good.

The story take up from the ending of the first volume, with the first meeting in several years between Shouya and Shoko. That it begins a whole new period of drama is a given. You see, while Shoko herself is willing to let things go and be friends, her mom and kid sister are not so willing to forgive Shouya. At least, not right away.

By the end of the volume, there is some change on these fronts, which is nice. The part for me was to tell myself that the mom and sis don't know Shouya's fragile psyche. They don't know that he is considering suicide. In other words, they are acting how you would *expect* folks to act in this type of situation when their loved one's former tormentor shows up again. But they are not bad people, and as angry as they are with him, I can't believe they'd be so harsh if they did know how close to the edge he hovered until Shoko unknowingly stabilized him.

The way that bullying can damage others, and the evil it is, is explored some more in this second volume. The character development in Shouya was nice, including an addition to the cast that affects his misanthropy in a positive light, via beginning to dispel it.

One thing that I understand has been a bit controversial was the mangaka's decision to not just show the former bully's mindset, but have it be the main POV. I think it works. It shows the damage bullying does, not just to the victims but the perpetrators as well. It also shows how bad it is to not take proper and measured responses to situations. Those who take excessive actions against some types of folks not for morality or justice, but for vengeance and for "social standing" - with morality and justice as separate issues - are often doing really awful things by so acting.

Given Japan's shame-based culture, this can be an issue in that country. Of course it should be noted that it has been argued that there are admirable qualities to this approach that are absent from guilt-based cultures (such as the US and the larger West). Truthfully, both approaches are far from perfect. The first simply gets much criticism instead of the latter because this is a Japanese work, exploring the struggles of the disabled in Japan and the negatives of that. If it were a work in the West, it would explore a different angle.

A terrific manga I truly enjoyed the first time and the second time so far. But wow what a ride. Again, in reference to the trigger warning, and to expand on that, this is tough, but enjoyable, good and worthwhile manga to read. Just be cautious and such of it in relation to you mental state.

Looking forward to continuing my re-read.

Rating: 5/5 Stars.

This Manga is for You

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

I've done my best to keep this a spoiler-free, short review -- the equivalent of the blurb on a book's back cover.

A Silent Voice is the translation of the Japanese manga series 聲の形 (romaji: Koe no Katachi). The subject matter involves a deaf student, and some idiosyncrasies used to convey deaf communication translated extremely well to English written text. At some points it is as if you can hear what deaf people experience. You don't need to like manga to appreciate A Silent Voice, but you do need to read the books in order. You can expect romantic tension and strong emotional connections with the characters. The story concerns a protagonist who made some poor decisions as a child (what child doesn't make poor decisions?) that had repercussions, even if he doesn't fully realize their weight.

If you decide to give it a shot, you'll be glad you checked it out, and sad when it's over. If you love manga, or if you've never read manga; if you love emotional moments in movies, or if you want to begin to understand the emotional side of yourself; if you've been bullied, or if you've been the bully: this manga series is for you.

Hooked! :)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 1, 2015

This is a wonderful series, the second book was as amazing as the first. I was looking for something to get into after Naruto ended, and I am loving this 'slice of life' series with a message. I think I first saw it in the bookstore and was attracted to the cover at first, showcaseing no vampires or pretty girls wearing next to nothing, but an ordinary boy and girl in a classroom. I glanced through it and the second time I returned I bought it and since then I've been so eager for the next new release. (Also, for fans of ABC Family's 'Switched at Birth', this is a must! I really think you would enjoy this.) Long story short, I really love this manga. If you're on the fence, give it a chance!

Amazing to see him make amends

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 1, 2019

I loved the second volume. He is making amends. I hate seeing him hate himself. But he did what he did and now he is doing his best to make her smile. Can't wait for the third book. I got it today and read it in maybe less than a hour. When the mom slapped shoya, I was shocked. She scares me. Why doesn't the mom know sign language to communicate with Shoko?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 29, 2015

This series continues to showcase the importance of what happens if you bully someone, not only to the person being bullied but the bully themself. A unique look into the minds of young people who must learn to embrace people's differences. I will happily continue to pick up this wonderful series! I also recommend anyone to pre-order future volumes on Amazon as they often price match other websites to make these volumes nearly 50% off, which is an amazing deal! Pick this series up if you like great, unique slice of life manga with an important story.
