There were no reviews for this work so I decided to step up and do it. It is spoiler-free so don't worry.

It is a very short chapter. It is entirely related to the original work so it should be read after the original manga. But it is more of a side story exploring more of characters that wasn't in the spotlight on the original work.

With that said, as a side story I wasn't expecting much but Yoshitoki Ooima managed to again do the same thing for which I praised her so much on the original series. The author seems to be capable of leading us ... into unique emotional situations that do not require a setting being built over a long number of chapters. As in, you read a certain chapter on the original series, cry, and then move on to another chapter that explores another side of the story and in that small frame of 20 pages she makes you cry again. And on this side story she made me cry again on that small number of pages. Her story telling is one of my favorites.

The drawing art is as good as it should be. If you have read the original manga and liked the art you will like the art here.

To conclude, if you have read the original series I highly recommend this little bit of extra. You won't be disappointed. My motivation for writing this review is that at the time I'm writing it, it is scored as 7.65 at myanimelist.net, which seems to me to be a little harsh. It should be a minimal 9, if you consider what this extra is, what was it's proposal and what it achieved. When I take that into consideration I give it a 10.

First and foremost, I didn't want to read this chapter because it was released after the anime adaptation, and I figured it wouldn't be worth it. But that is not true; it is definitely worth your time, and I am glad I changed my mind. This brief but unique story is about Yaeko Nishimiya (Shouko's mother) and how she developed, aided Shoka, and overcame numerous challenges over time. I enjoy how Ooima Yoshitoki can convey numerous characters' emotions with a small amount of words. Overall, this special manga is a must-read if you like the Koe no Katachi series. It ... features beautiful visuals, an emotional plot, and good character design, for which I award it a 10/10.

A special one-shot (?) that further develops the character Nishimiya Yaeko (Nishimiya Shouko's mother).

Here we have a flashback of Yaeko before the events of the main plot. After that, we have a moment that takes place during the events of the main plot where the Nishimiya family is gathered celebrating Yaeko's birthday. After this moment, we have a follow-up to what happens after the main story, and in it we have a bit more character development.

In short, it's a chapter that gives us a feeling of anguish and grief over a situation where words don't need to be spoken to understand the weight the character ... is feeling. In fact, it's an experience that shakes anyone, and that's why I can't help but rate this work highly, because even though it's short and without much new information, it brings purpose and reflection.

Appreciate your mother while you still have her.

Um one-shot (?) especial que desenvolve um pouco mais a personagem Nishimiya Yaeko (Mãe da Nishimiya Shouko).

Aqui temos um flashback da Yaeko antes dos acontecimentos da trama principal, após isso temos um momento que se passa durante os acontecimentos da trama principal onde a familia Nishimiya está reunida comemorando o aniversario da Yaeko, depois desse momento temos um seguimento do que ocorre pós a obra principal e nela temos um pouco mais de desenvolvimento da personagem.

Enfim, em suma é um capitulo que nós dá aquele sentimento de angustia e pesar por uma situação onde palavras não precisam ser ditas para entender o peso que a personagem esta sentindo nas costas, de fato é uma experiência que abala qualquer pessoa e por isso não tenho como não avaliar minimamente bem essa obra, pois mesmo que seja curta e sem muitas coisas novas, ela tras um proposito e uma reflexão.

Valorize sua mãe enquanto ainda a tem.
