É o fim. 
Esse volume trouxe muitas coisas que eu esperava a muito tempo mas pareceu tão apressado... não sei se o mangaká (ou a mangaká) tinha um número de volumes fixos ou não, se tinha ideia de desenvolver mais ou não mas não fui a única que ficou com a sensação de "ótimo,  e? Cadê o resto?". Okay, entrando na questão: não sou contra finais abertos e entendi o propósito que foi utilizado aqui, isso é um Slice of Life e a vida não é só essa parte que demonstra o mangá e claro, para dois personagens que quase cometeram suicídio, esse final é muito potente...mas...sabe...um epílogo seria legal também...sei lá.
Eu amei o encontro na ponte, a reação dos dois foi maravilhosa e a conversa também, é a que a gente sempre esperou. Eles sendo francos e honestos um com o outro e consigo mesmos.
Cara indignada que não rolou nenhum beijo ou demonstração entre eles que eles se gostam. Vou ter que me contentar com o QUASE segurar de mão?
ATÉ O MASHIBA E A KAWAI TIVERAM UM "eu a amo" CARA!
Inclusive me surpreendeu ein. 
Gostei do reencontro de todo o grupo e eu amo muito a metáfora dos "X" caindo (escrever isso no contexto brasileiro é muito engraçado).
Amei o Ishida não se aguentando e gritando e só saindo. Amei ele treinando no espelho. É incrível como amamos o Ishida Colegial.
E que filme pesado eles fizeram né pra passar na escola...
Eu TENHO QUE FALAR EU RI TANTO MAS TANTO QUANDO O PEDRO APARECEU. ELE É TÃO KKKKKKK EU NÃO SEI EXPLICAR.
Achei uma boa sacada as duas mães bebendo juntas quando a gente esperava uma luta de titãs
E toda trama do cabeleleiro...é...eu entendi, faz sentido, mas não é um ponto alto.
VOU SENTIR TANTA FALTA DELES😭😭😭

Al principio me sorprendió, porque a pesar de saber algunos detalles sobre este manga, no esperaba ese canal para transmitir la temática. Me ha gustado muchísimo a pesar de haberlo leído en electrónico lo que suele hacer que me meta menos en la historia.
Trata de una forma muy especial la dificultad de comunicación entre las personas, un tema como el acoso y también el sentimiento de grupo japonés. La verdad es que para esto último es muy útil conocer algo a la sociedad japonesa y su intento en todos los aspectos de crear un grupo armonioso de personas para así poder progresar. Creo que entender esto te hace poder comprender más como ocurre todo.
No hay blancos del todo, no hay negros del todo, aunque sí comportamientos. Me he sentido tan tocada con algunas cosas. Lo he disfrutado y sufrido.

This is more of a review of the whole series than the last volume since I didn’t have the energy to review each one.

Shoya is a pretty accurate angsty depressed loner, and minus the bullying parts, I found him pretty relatable. The Xs on everyone’s faces is a perfect metaphor for anxiety. Shoko is a pretty great character too, and the part where she imagines a world where everyone is deaf like her was one of the best moments of the whole series. In particular, the question of “how can you prove you’ve changed?” Is a really fascinating one, and is the most interesting question asked here. I did like the end, though the movie’s ending was a bit more powerful.

Now onto the not so great things. The side characters are pretty hit-or-miss. Tomohiro is fun and exciting and I love his over eagerness getting him into trouble. Shoko’s mom sucks for most of the story, then gets a tragic backstory that I really liked. But some of the other side characters just don’t feel satisfying. Like their actions make sense, but I don’t enjoy them. Specifically, Naoka is absolutely horrible throughout the entire thing, and she keeps getting chances to redeem herself for… some reason? I also didn’t like the part where all the side characters get a page to talk about how they ALSO got bullied, which felt cheap and not at all in reality. Also, The film-making subplot was pretty forgettable and didn’t serve any purpose.

At least compared to the movie, the manga version is way more consistently dark and has some genuinely dark and really uncomfortable moments (Naoka vs Shoko’s mom), and just has a more melancholy tone overall. Shoya felt like more of a real character, and I appreciated his inner monologues SO much. Overall I think I like the movie slightly more? But both are fantastic adaptations of a story I find extremely relatable, both to Shoya and Shoko.

The manga series over all is really a 5 star read. The last volume just isn't as good as the previous 6 for me. It is a little sad but its okay!

I love most of the characters and the story is just beautifull. Now Im gonna watch the movie soon ♡♡

I was hoping this final volume would wrap the story up in a more satisfying way than the film did (considering how much extra detail the manga has) but unfortunately it just wasn't for me :( it started out well enough, but the story lost focus very quickly and everything felt so scattered and dragged out by the time I got to the halfway mark of this volume. so much time was spent exploring side character plots that previously-established plots, such as a specific one regarding shoya and shoko at the end of volume three, were left unresolved - ordinarily, I wouldn't mind these side character plots provided that they weren't explored at the expense of previously-established plots, which was definitely the case here.

overall, do I prefer the manga over the film? it honestly depends. while the actual content of the manga was better than that of the film, I wasn't as disappointed by the film's conclusion as I was by that of the manga.
