WORDS OF REASSURANCE
Once upon a time, Shoya was terribly cruel to Shoko, his elementary school classmate who couldn’t hear.

Review:
Shoya is starting
to learn that not everyone is horrible, and he could actually make friends. He
attempts it in this volume by going to an amusement park with a group, and it
starts out really great. Ends in a bit of a mess, though.
Naoka and Shoko
can’t seem to get along, and Naoka won’t leave Shoya alone. Naoka is generally
just a terrible person, though. I don’t like her at all.
On the other hand,
Shoya is trying to be a better person and make friends with people. He takes
advice to compliment Shoko, because he wants her to like herself, which is kind
of adorably hilarious. And then, when Yuzu and Shoko go through a bad family
death, the group does the same for Yuzu. It’s sweet.
I just absolutely
love this series. It’s heartwarming and realistic and terrible at times, and
all of it is fantastically done. I can’t wait for the next one.
