A Silent Voice tackles bullying, ignorance, and the pressure to fit in with raw honesty. It shows how easily anyone, including the sweet, “harmless” kid can become a bully or a silent bystander. it’s insane how deeply the series explores its characters. Each one is forced to confront their past and take responsibility, and the emotional weight of that is so real. Shouya’s path to redemption is one of the most moving arcs I’ve read. it’s about guilt, forgivenes and what it means to change. I love this story to bits.
I genuinely love this manga, but what is it with stories always making characters ‘soulmates all along’ with some secret past they both forgotThat trope never really clicks with me. It just feels too perfect and shiny. it’s like it’s trying too hard to be fate. I like when connections i stories are built with work and sweat and tears. not handed out by some forgotten backstory. that seems unnecessarily harsh, but please trust me i really really do LOVE this story. it’s mostly just something i’ve noticed its become a trend among romance manga writers. but atleast this story did it amazingly. like this manga is one of the only mangas who’s written an actual amazing “soulmates all along.” trope. ♀♀♀♀ i praise the author for their fan
As someone who read the novel, I can say the author uses cliche tropes in a unique way. I was truly amazed by her story. Regarding the forgotten past, it’s forgotten for a reason. It also hardly plays a part in the main story for the couple in terms of their relationship development. They don’t need a forgotten past to show how good they are for each other. However, there is a reason why that past exists and it coincides with why this manhwa is called “The Broken Ring”. The past is also the trigger that started the repeated tragic timelines.
