I really went into this after watching the film and was still taken aback by how much it's emotionally destroying me. and this is just the beginning! why do I do this to myself!!!

while the film is still very near and dear to my heart (being one of the best representations of social anxiety I've ever seen on screen), reading the manga is a whole other experience because of how much extra detail there is as opposed to the film. of course, the film's limited runtime means they had to cut some things out, which is expected in adaptations, but those extra details really enhance the story for me and let me appreciate it even more.

I'm not ready to get into the next volumes oh my GOODNESS.

This volume does an excellent job in showcasing the blatant cruelty children can have towards those who are deemed different. Shoko, because she is deaf, and Shoya, because the tides turn against him.  I do wish the volume was a little longer but stopping where it does successfully makes me want to read the next volume.

I don’t even have words to describe the pain I felt while reading this manga, I even cried. It’s so hard to watch a person go trought bullying. It hit like truck, It’s just- I don’t even know If they right word to describe what this made me feel, besides pain,  exist.

My congrants to the mangaka, he has portrayed really well how a enviroment of bullying looks like.
