Review:
This volume
explores more of Shoya and Shoko’s past, with the reintroduction of two of
their past classmates. Shoya goes looking when Shoko asks, and it’s all brought on
by his awkward inability to be honest and upfront with her.
Shoko is reunited
with the one girl who was nice to her, but who transferred out before any of
the real bad stuff happened. And this forms a real friendship between, and a
surprise for Shoya, as he finds himself feeling left out. He wants to be the
one at her side, even if he denies it.
Then Shoya runs
into the girl that was at his side in school, just as mean as he was, goading
him on. And while Shoya is trying to move past that, be better, she’s just the
same as she was then.
Then there’s the
ending, and that’s just bad. Poor Shoko, and dumb Shoya.
I can’t wait for
the next one.
