Shoya Ishida’s life is slowly beginning to change for the better. After years of loneliness and isolation, he finally experiences what it means to have a true friend—someone who accepts him without judgment. That support gives him the strength to move forward, but also to confront the mistakes of his past. When Shoko Nishimiya asks him for Miyoko Sahara’s email—the girl who once tried to protect her—Shoya is once again forced to face old wounds and memories.

That simple request takes him back to a time when his actions hurt others, even those who were trying to do good. Aware that forgiveness is not just a word but a process, Shoya continues to reflect on himself and seeks ways to make amends where possible. A Silent Voice continues to follow his journey of growth, showing how small, everyday choices can be crucial on the path toward inner peace and genuine friendship.

A Silent Voice is a powerful and deeply emotional story about growing up and the lasting impact our words and actions can have on others. Through poignant characters and gentle yet direct narration, author Yoshitoki Oima masterfully tackles complex social themes such as bullying, life with a disability, stigma, and the search for forgiveness. The series doesn’t offer simple answers, but instead invites understanding, empathy, and personal growth.

This manga series has received international acclaim. It has been translated into multiple languages, and in 2016, it was adapted into an animated film that captivated audiences worldwide. A Silent Voice was nominated for prestigious awards such as the Osamu Tezuka and Manga Taisho prizes in Japan, while the American edition was shortlisted for an Eisner Award. This is a work that transcends its medium and leaves a lasting impression on every reader.
