Deaf people also communicate with their mouth as well. I hate to break it to you but deaf people kiss. Holding hands does the same for Shouyo and Shouko. Their hands are their mouths, and they've now finally joined their hands. The ending is the first time the two actually hold hands and it's important because Shouyo and Shouko communicate with each other not with their mouths but with their hands. If you go back to Chapter 56, Shouko purposefully takes Shouyo by his sleeve and not his hand and drags him to school. I think the author implies a kiss with the final scene of the manga. It had possibilities but failed to deliver. It's really just a random collection of events with the same characters. A 2 year time skip where nothing happens is a rather remarkable e feat.

I wanted to experience a full and satisfying resolution to the story by reading it, not be required to write my own fanfic in order to fill in the blanks left by a mangaka who failed to fit it in, despite Shoya's filler-fuelled coma and all-around slow moving second half which seemed to be treading water until the exciting conclusion where literally nothing happened. It was truly moving." I think you've attributed more depth to the manga than it earned. "Shoko and Shoya's relationship was great as is, their love for each other spoke louder than words or even blatant actions. If I wanted real life I would go outside and live it. Besides, this isn't real life, it's a manga. Reference to the cat-themed garden decorations made multiple appearances, but not this massive, almost character development? ".things aren't always perfect in real life and not everything gets wrapped up nicely" is a terrible excuse for the mangaka's failure to deliver a satisfying romantic resolution in the story. Shoko's misunderstood confession was entirely swept under the rug and forgotten. It's all done for convenience sake with no explanation as to why the character would behave that way.Īs for the romance aspect, or lack thereof in this case.the manga was tagged as romance and teased romance throughout, but ultimately delivered nothing.


A major failing of the story is no explanation why Shoko forgives Shoya? Because he learned sign language and apologized? That's enough? Then she falls in love with him. We never get inside her head to understand her. Probably the least developed character in the story was Shoko. Yuzuru was my favourite character, but the sum total of her development was what? Attending school?Īgreed, what character development. A few of the more important characters had decent development, but the rest were average at best.

I disagree with your opinion on character development entirely. I'm being a "debby-downer" because this manga started off great, showed a lot of promise, but failed to deliver and ended up average, thus I was disappointed. I completely disagree with both you guys. Yoshitoki Ōima completely delivered and made a fantastic series. Shoko and Shoya's relationship was great as is, their love for each other spoke louder than words or even blatant actions. That isn't what this story was about or what it set out to do. Would this story be better if they kissed at the end? I'm not saying I wouldn't have minded it, but I think it's a pretty melodramatic that people are all getting hung up on a damn kiss or love confession not happening. Sorry, but things aren't always perfect in real life and not everything gets wrapped up nicely. There didn't have to be this big ol' romance story. The story was great, the characters were extremely realistic, the development for all the characters was amazing, and the themes in the story were very touching and intense.
