In a rare moment of courage, Shoko Nishimiya tries to express her feelings to Shoya Ishida. However, a misunderstanding between them strikes her deeper than expected. For the first time since they became close, Shoya fails to understand her—and for Shoko, this is both disappointing and painful. Though she doesn’t blame him out of spite, the sadness she feels reveals just how much their bond now means to her.

Meanwhile, the circle of people around them continues to grow—new faces appear, old acquaintances return, and former enemies try to find a place in their lives once again. Yet, as everything becomes more complicated, it becomes clear that not everyone is sincere and that their intentions aren’t always pure. In this part of the series, A Silent Voice examines trust, love, and the delicate line between genuine connection and shallow closeness.

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.
