Being someone who's relatively fresh to manga, I can truly say this was something else.

Ishida is a bully, picking on Shouko because she's deaf and therefore different. That alone caught my attention. It's a unique start to what would be an amazing journey for both me and Ishida.

This manga ended up giving me a sense of most emotions, such as happiness, sadness, and even anger. The way they're protrayed throughout the story baffles me because of how well done it is.

The art is incredible, and it's consistent as well. That's something I consider rare nowadays. Every character, in my eyes at least, was unique in nearly every way.

Overall, I truly loved this work. It brought a lot of enjoyment to read it, and I honestly am still kind of blown away by how it went. Some people might not enjoy the particular way it ended out, but for me it was satisfying, and for that, I'm giving this a 10/10 all across the board. This is a work of art.
