When popular Shoya Ishida bullies Shoko Nishimiya, his new – deaf – elementary school classmate, she moves to a different school and he becomes a social outcast.

Years later, he tracks her down to make amends, but his past actions cast a long shadow.

This exquisitely animated manga adaptation unfolds like the graphic novel it once was – it’s a “moving and compelling” (Time Out), emotionally complex tale of redemption and friendship.

 

This Review from The Telegraph also includes a link to an “exclusive” Trailer (strangely the same “exclusive” trailer appears in other journal’s reviews.
