You might like this if you enjoy the sort of depressing books assigned as school reading.
This book is full of lovely, realistic artwork. Unfortunately, it's not my sort of story at all. This is a grim, depressing story of an utterly obnoxious
There are precisely two likeable characters: the protagonist's mother, who gets minimal pagetime, and the victim Nishimiya herself, who is essentially a plot device in this volume at least. Everyone else is basically loathesome. Most of the volume consists of Shouya musing, Shouya bullying Nishimiya, or Shouya getting bullied, making it pretty unrelentingly grim. There is no humour or relief from the misery, and no characters other than Shouya are allowed to develop, which is a problem given that he's completely unlikeable.
While it's perhaps realistic, I found it deeply depressing that Shouya's classmates, who take enthusiastic part in the bullying, are able not only to escape scot-free from consequences, but then turn their bullying on Shouya with equal lack of consequence, while acting like they have the moral high ground. None of the adults intervene meaningfully on behalf of either, despite really severe physical bullying and destruction of property.
I was somewhat intrigued as to what might happen later in the series; maybe this setup volume would lead into a much more palatable series as the relationships between the characters develop? But no. From the synopses I can find, the series consists of Shouya and Nishimiya working to reconcile with people who treated them like crap, for no reason I can discern. Life continues to be miserable, there are occasional The More You Know moments. It's not going to be fun. I see no reason to read it.
It's a huge shame, because I thought this was going to be a really interesting series about the experiences of a deaf kid and this boy who gets involved in her life. But no, she's essentially a Very Special Episode plot device as far as I can tell, serving only to motivate the protagonist in various ways.

bully of a kid, who eventually gets his comeuppance and becomes the class victim instead, then learns something from it and tries to improve himself or something. This is the kind of book we were forced to read in English Literature - full of misery, "realism", characters nobody could like, and heavy moral messages about how everyone is basically awful and life is crap.There are precisely two likeable characters: the protagonist's mother, who gets minimal pagetime, and the victim Nishimiya herself, who is essentially a plot device in this volume at least.

This is my second ever Manga series ( Death Note was my recent first), and I am blown away by the depth of thought and subject matters explored. The main character, Shoya, bullies a new girl for being deaf. It is tough ( with intense themes) to read at first, but you will keep reading. The empathy
SLIGHT SPOILER AHEAD
While people may feel disdain for Shoya at first, there is the need to know "why". Also, when Nishiyima is forced to change schools from all of the harassment she faces, his previously loyal classmates begin to turn on him, which in turn, makes gives him a taste of his own medicine and then eventually causes him to, a year/s or so later, self-reflect and face some pretty dark feelings
( suicide, guilt, etc.) I am only on book 3 so far, but am loving it. If you are unsure of how to approach Manga, and feel intimidated, start with A Silent Voice. Trust me, if you love classic English Literature, and/or any darker stuff, you will like it.

I’ve recently been getting more manga from my local library than I used to. (They won’t acquire more if no one’s reading them, after all). But while they have a rather comprehensive who’s who of 1990s manga, more modern titles are often missing. Luckily, one of the series they’ve made
Despite having a rather famous movie adaptation, I went into this series pretty much blind. I haven’t watched the movie and knew nothing of the plot beyond the very basics. A Silent Voice is the story of two middle schoolers – a boy named Shoya and a girl named Shoko. Shoko is a new transfer student and deaf. Shoya suffers from nothing greater than perpetual boredom, and begins to bully Shoko. The entire class joins in on Shoya’s bullying, with Shoko ultimately switching schools. Yet Shoya shoulders the blame of her dropping out of their school alone. Years later, at the end of high school, Shoya meets Shoko again.
Shoya is a rather normal sort of child when we first meet him. He’s a sort of ringleader, or at least appears to be one. The main issue he has is one of boredom and never knowing the lines between fun, over the top, and bullying lay. Shoya can be very mean, downright cruel sometimes. While I didn’t quite like him for much of the manga, I didn’t hate him. The mangaka is very careful about how his character is presented. Despite having a few friends that seem to more or less go along with his antics a separation is created between them quite early on, with one character saying that he couldn’t do any more daredevil antics after class because he had to go to cram school. While his mother tries her hardest to be involved in Shoya’s life, his sister is completely absent. Shoya seems to have more of a relationship (both good ones and bad ones) with the string of boyfriends his older sister goes through during the volume than he does with his own sister. These instances give him a softer edge, a more vulnerable side that is brought out a little more towards the end of the volume.
I am very, very impressed with how much personality Shoko is given without saying almost anything throughout the volume. This is a visual medium, of course, so facial expressions play a good deal in this. But it is more than that. She is quiet both due to being deaf and relying on a notebook to communicate with her classmates, and because it is simply her nature. She’s strong, not only taking her bullying with a face that is normally rather passive, but even going so far as being kind to her aggressors. Yet, she doesn’t fight back in any meaningful way, at least not in the obvious ways most readers would assume.
The majority of the manga is told from Shoya’s point of view. It’s him we follow. I think this does something important, something I didn’t quite notice until the end of the manga. At no point does anyone, his mother included, sit Shoya down and explain why he shouldn’t bully. He’s told to stop, to be nice, to calm down with the daredevil antics from the opening pages of the book. Yet none of the adults really take the time to have any kind of meaningful talk with him. Of course, Shoya’s getting a little older, right at that age where you expect a kid to know better and understand what he’s doing. However, until the end of the volume, it doesn’t seem like Shoya really comprehends the sort of physical and mental damage he’s doing.
One character with whom I have nearly no sympathy for is Shoya and Shoko’s teacher. This was an extremely frustrating character. I initially had some sympathy for him as this was a difficult situation to be in, especially when not all of the bullying was done when in his presence. Towards the end of the volume all sympathy had disappeared. The teacher’s attitude is summed up perfectly when he tells Shoya not to embarrass him. It is his own embarrassment he seems the most concerned about, not the wellbeing of his students. He does less than the bare minimum to ensure that Shoko wasn’t being bullied, and does even less than that when Shoya becomes the classes next target.
Yet this brings up very important questions, ones which I’m sure later volumes will delve into in more detail. Does a bully truly deserve whatever retribution they may incur? What line is there between just deserts and undeserved harassment? When do onlookers turn into bullies? Should those who have previously bullied ask forgiveness? More importantly, should they be forgiven?
The art in this manga is just very pleasant to look at. Some of the cells are rather minimalistic with focus solely on the character and no backgrounds to speak of. This isn’t as prevalent as it is in, say, a shojo manga, but it is present nonetheless. Character’s faces are very expressive, especially their eyes, which convey a lot to the reader.
If there is anything to criticize it is the use of transitions. There were a few places where transitions from one scene to another felt rushed and left me just a bit confused. These happened almost entirely within the last chapter as the manga drew to a close. The jump in time from middle school to high school was a bit jarring, which stood out more than it may have otherwise done because the transition from high school to middle school within the opening pages was crafted so well. I found myself unsure of just what Shoya was doing and exactly what the time frame of the last several pages of the manga was.
However, the manga is very excellently crafted overall. Characters grew and changed. Those I hated I grew to have sympathy for. Some characters I initially liked I began to hate. I will definitely be checking out the rest of this series (and hopefully the movie as well at some point). This is a story that is universal, a story that many have experienced or witness. It’s a story of childhood, of bullying, of being different in a world of sameness. It’s a powerful story that, I can only imagine, will go to great places.

Shoya is the school bully and when Shoko, a girl who can’t hear, transfers to his elementary school, she becomes his latest target. Shoya and his friends torture her together. But when the bullying goes too far and Shoko is forced to leave their school Shoya shoulders all of the blame and is left
The beginning of this did throw me off just a little bit, as it jumps right into Shoya finding Shoko again and I thought I honestly may have picked up the wrong volume of the series. But, it does jump back again to the six years before a few pages in. It was one of those things where I read the book and then went right back to the beginning to read the first part again to make sure I caught it.
Overall though, I believe this is a good start to the series. In most of the parts, it really made me hate Shoya and the way he treated Shoko, which is kind of the whole point of his backstory and the redemption arc I’m sure is to come.
This volume also made me feel so bad for Shoko - she not only has everyone bullying her at school, but her own Mom is kind of a jerk too (yes I know she’s trying to “toughen her up” but there are better ways of doing it).
I’ve been interested in reading Deaf characters in stories this year, especially manga or graphic novels, to see how they are written and how they show their communication. There wasn’t any sign language in this novel, so I’m curious to see what becomes of this in the upcoming volumes. I was able to grab the whole series from my library and I plan on reading through them all.
Overall, this is I believe a good start to a series, though I am pretty glad I have the next volumes to read right away as I felt like this one was a bit lacking in the overall story and was only just the set up.

First of all, the story is something I’ve never read before, there are books and mangas with characters with disabilities, but I had never read about a deaf person and I think this story was a complete challenge for the author because, how do you draw sign language? There are several parts where
The story touches several interesting topic and it’s even more interesting seeing how one leads to another. I really got frustrated a lot with the story because whenever I’ve read about characters with disabilities, everyone seems to be nice with them, so I thought it was the norm that everyone acted that way, and the fact that Shouko’s classmates bullied her just for being deaf made me really mad, even the teachers saw her as a burden that slowed the class’s rhythm, and even some members of her own family were harsh with her.
I thought this manga would be like Orange, it was a kind of sad story and the protagonist deals with his own internal demons of depression, guilt, and suicidal thoughts, but everyone was on his side trying to help him… but in this one everyone was mean to the main characters, Shouko and Shoya were bullied during a long period of time and to a really harsh extent that made them believe they were worthless, it was so much that in the end both of them couldn’t handle it anymore, they felt lonely and helpless.
I really liked how the main characters were all different, not only from each other, but from other stories I’ve read, they felt extremely realistic, they were all flawed and made mistakes, big ones sometimes. In the beginning the main characters are Shoya and Shouko, but some others tag along later, like Shouko’s sister, two of Shoya’s classmates, and three Shouko’s and Shoya’s ex-classmates. All of them had their own problems, but there are two characters I can’t stand, Ueno and Kawai, those two were ex classmates of Shouko and Shoya and bullied Shouko, and later turned their backs on Shoya. I totally hated Ueno, she was the definition of a mean girl, and she likes Shoya since elementary school, but still bullied him and ignored him. Later on, when she finds out he and Shouko are friends, she mocks him and is mean to him and his friends. She is jealous of Shouko for being close to Shoya and literally hits her in different occasions and there is big fight between Ueno and Shouko’s family (yes, she hits Shouko and her family when they try to stop her), and despite all she did, she is still in the group of friends, I’ll never understand that.
Koe no Katachi is a manga that reflects real problems in schools with discrimination, bullying, and how much harm this can do to a person. I highly recommend this manga, it made me feel frustrated and angry, but I know things like that happen in real life. It’s a deep heartwarming story about overcoming the past and walking towards the future. If you look for romance you’ll be disappointed, there are hints about it, but it’s not a main thing, anyways, read it.

Shouko and other characters use sign language, and even though the bubbles tell you what they’re saying, I think it’s awesome how the author drew the hand movements. Actually in the manga it’s said the author wrote the story under the supervision of the Japanese federation of the deaf, so I want to think the story involved a lot of research by the author to make it more accurate and real. The art style is not my favorite but it’s really unique and I liked the character’s design, it’s really easy to recognize the characters.The story touches several interesting topic and it’s even more interesting seeing how one leads to another.

So. It's hard to begin with this, but let's see if I can get through the review without crying (I was crying in the middle of the BN as I read this so don't hold your breath).
Bullying. It's a concept that is both underestimated and overused depending on the situation, context and person. People are
I was bullied in HS. It was physical and I didn't talk about it, but it was a near daily facet of my life. Since then I've read A LOT of stuff about bullying, being a bully, and those who have been bullied. it's odd but bullying is a strong part of manga/anime--whether it's the resident school "Prince's" fan club picking on the heroine or the hero being extorted by hooligans for being "different", it's astounding how large a part and accepted it is.
But rarely do you see the actual effect. Oh the hero rallies or the heroine's friends protect her but there isn't lasting damage. Not like in real life.
So for me A SILENT VOICE was both personally hard to get through and stunning to read. This volume focused on Shoya--his rise to infamy such as it were and his downfall and "karmic justice" as he found out how it felt.
It was hard to read the evolution of Shoko's mistreatment especially as it wasn't completely Shoya's doing. Yes he instigated but the class were just as culpable and indeed the school as well. His classmates may have been more passive--choosing to complain about the problems Shoko posed behind her back with increasing disdain, but they WERE at fault.
Same for the teacher(s), really only one teacher attempted to educate the kids on what it meant to be Shoko and she was slapped down verbally by another teacher in front of the kids. That teacher meanwhile said the "right things", but it was superficial sentiments.

quick to label things as "bullying", and in a lot of cases they're not wrong in the abstract.
