A Silent Voice

A manga about a bully who harassed a deaf girl who grows up and tries to find a way to atone for his sins.

We’ve covered this series as a Retrospective.

This is one of the best manga we’ve read for this podcast. Yoshitoki Oima does a fantastic job crafting a story that truly examines all aspects of bullying. I think her visual representation of placing “x” marks on characters faces is genius. The anime movie is good but suffers from having to cram 7 volumes worth of material into 2 hours. I highly recommend this series that’s available from Kodansha.
