The Shape of Voice / Форма Голоса / Koe no Katachi

"The Shape of Voice" (also known as "Koe no Katachi" in Japanese) is a manga that was initially hesitant to be published due to its exploration of sensitive topics that many Japanese people prefer to avoid. However, it eventually became a new hit in the manga world. The first chapter, or single, tells the story of a deaf girl who strives to be on the same level as her peers but ultimately becomes a victim of bullying. On a deeper level, this manga reflects the struggle people often face in truly hearing and understanding each other, leading to a disconnect and separation between individuals. The single chapter has received detailed reviews on the translator's website. In the serialized version, readers have the opportunity to follow the events leading up to and following the main perpetrator of the bullying through their eyes and heart. This character's world is constantly filled with monotony, but it will eventually be turned upside down. Note: Due to the request of the copyright holder, the chapters have been removed.
