Welp I read only a one shot, there is a bigger story with more chapters.

Anyways nothing much to say here, its a test that was pass with flying colors - short, simple, effective and has a strong message behind it.

Its a one shot about the importance of communication. Very easy easy read, feels almost plain and too simple, yet conveys a pretty strong and reasonable message behind it.

I give it 9/10 because it doesn`t have some sort of hook, probably lacks some authentic characters or a story, its very simple yet effective, you know its like a glass of water ... on a hot day, you drink, it doesnt have taste but it makes you satisfied. So this is how this story is, it just doesnt have that extra in it. And maybe its for the better since its a one shot :)

The story was in my opinion very realistic (except the nature of shocko) and it was amazing that this story gave me plenty of 'feelings' along reading it.
The story seeemed so realistic to me because it was way to familiar to my own life. It could've actually been a story about me but then without all the girls :(. The way karma can be such a b!ch is presented great in the story. The story shoqws how easy it is to bully someone and how such a false sense of greatness it gives you. But away from that every chapter was full of good ... content and had absolutely no fillers.

The art was in my opinion smooth, very constant (it kept the same quality over the whole story) but not amazing (Kentaro Miura destroyed my norm).

The main characters were just as good as it can be. The side-characters on the other hand were also nice but lacked information (more focus). I would've liked to get more attention to all the side characters their lives, family and history, but at least they all had their own personalities wich were highly enjoyable.

At last i would highly recommemd this manga to people who really like an original story and to people that like to binge-read.

ps
still havent watched the movie yet

In my journey to read top rated mangas, enter: Koe no katachi

No spoiler review

This is a socially awkward, hard to read (emotionally), yet so satisfying to get through, tear jerking manga. There is a heavy atmosphere of social awkwardness and social uncertainty throughout the manga. Watching characters deal with these situations, evokes powerful emotions from situations forgotten by memory but remembered by the heart. There are many eye watering moments in this manga as characters interact, reveal secrets, hurt each other,love, hate ect…ect. This manga explores some of the “what ifs” of difficult social situations, its heart wrenching at times but as long as you ... have love and a little masochism, you'll be ok and wanting more ;).

8.5/10
