reunions and the ending
Reviewed in the United States on 06-01-2016
Shoya returns to the land of the wakeful, and it's time for him to face everybody, beginning with an improbable escape so he can meet Shoko at their meeting spot, the bridge. Yeah, it's a bit of a stretch that he could do what he does in this story, but it works for the story.

After that, and some recovery time from his injuries, he reunites with the friends he scattered a couple of volumes ago. Tomohiro's movie gets completed, gets recognized, then gets shot down in a very ugly and unfair way.

It's a bit amusing that a story that began with serious controversy has also ended with some controversy, too, though of a less serious sort. My own observation has been that the open-ended nature of the ending has left people less then satisfied. And it I were honest, I can't much blame them.

A Silent Voice hasn't been primarily a romantic story, it's dealt with many other big issues then just somehow getting the two main characters together. Still, it has been an element in the story, from Shoko's failed attempt to voice her feelings back in Volume 3 to even Shoya's struggles to get to her immediately after awaking from his coma. Heck, in this volume they have their first real argument. And by the end, it's pretty plain that everybody except Shoya knows how Shoya feels about Shoko.

The ending isn't bad, I think. It's a hopeful ending, though I can understand how people would want something more concrete, something like a declaration from Shoya.

So, read this volume. If you don't, we'll throw peanuts at you.

This Manga Series 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.

the spine is a little ripped, and the back had a huge sticker that did NOT tear off smoothly.
