![]() At least, this is the simple summary of Koe no Katachi‘s film adaptation of the manga of the same name. When their school’s cultural festival begins, Shōya attends with his friends, feeling he’s finally found redemption and solace. During this time, Shōya and Shōko’s mothers reconcile, and when Shōya reawakens, he finds Shōko, explaining to her that the consequences of his actions during elementary are his responsibility to bear. Shōko grows distressed, feeling she is personally responsible for what had happened to Shōya and attempts to commit suicide by jumping off her apartment’s balcony, but Shōya saves her, falling from the balcony and lapsing into a coma. His heart set on rectifying his past transgressions, Shōya helps Shōko reconnect with Sahara and brings everyone back together for a day at the amusement park, but Miki later reveals Shōya’s past, prompting him to come forwards with how he’d felt about the whole situation. By this point, Shōya has learned sign language and seeks to make amends, seeking to return her notebook that he’d retained, but when it falls into the river and Shōya jumps in to retrieve it, he is suspended from school following Shōko’s sister, Yuzuru’s posting it online. When she transferred out of their school shortly after, his friends made him a scapegoat, leading to his isolation throughout middle school and high school. ![]() “Hell is yourself and the only redemption is when a person puts himself aside to feel deeply for another person.” -Tennessee WilliamsĪs an elementary student, Shōya Ishida and his classmates relentlessly bullied Shōko Nishimiya, a deaf girl who had transferred into his class.
