the fall and the fallout
Reviewed in the United States on 04-20-2016
Events that began at the end of the last volume are concluded early in this one. One character is left shattered in body, another in spirit, and their families and friends struggle to understand what to do now.

Up to this point, the story has been told mostly from Shoya's view, focusing on how he interacts with the people around him and they to him. With him being out of commission, the focus is put on others, and the results are intriguing. Some of the others react to the disaster in very extreme ways, others in calmer ways.

This volume ends with two of the better chapters of the story up to this point, as we finally see things from Shoko's eyes.

So good

~4.5/5
I am so completely and utterly impressed with this volume. It was gorgeous. Depressing and horrible and intense. And gorgeous.

Shoya tries saving Shoko, and only ends up hurting himself. And this means that the other characters get a little more focus in this volume. We get a chapter for each classmate, and some are quite insightful. I don’t particularly care for most of their inner voices anymore, but it was helpful to read. Shoko’s chapters were particularly hard to read, because it’s hard to see her struggling. I so badly want to see her happy. I also like Yuzuru’s a lot, too, because I like her as a character and a friend to Shoko.

This volume hurt to read. It was painful. But it was also so needed and worthwhile and so well done. There are some very bad parts, and some very thoughtful ones. This was needed.

I need the next volume immediately. I need to see how this series ends oh my god.

This Manga is for You
Reviewed in the United States on 06-01-2016
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.
