Finally read the 1st chapter.

So the serialization might expand the story on why Ishida did what he did and his experience throughout his childhood to the realization how much he hurt Shouko and the bullying he suffers after she left school.

Hopefully the serialization might expand the other kids who might have regrets later in their lives over what they did. Also, i like Ishida older sister.

It's nice to know that there's a thread for this.

I wasn't too thrilled with the first chapter since it felt slow, but it did give our MC a backstory. Now, since I think that a backstory's worth hinges on how it is utilized within the story itself, I'm going to withhold judgment on it.

But seriously, if this is just going to be a more drawn out version of the oneshot, this is going to be difficult for me. The original was painful enough to read. Going through it all again on a week-by-week is going to be excruciating.

Part of me wants the story to lighten up, but part of me feels that doing so would undermine the social relevance of the story its trying to tell. At the very least, this serialization is a good chance to somehow humanize the rest of the class instead of just being there to persecute the main characters. I feel so conflicted about this.

So her mom is strict. Wonder it will effect future era

Enjoyed the one shot, definately going to follow the series

I think that teacher infuriated me more than any of the students. I can understand children being fickle creatures, but a fully grown adult should be a better man than that.

I'm looking forward to their high school life. Hopefully we're past what the oneshot already covered now.

RRW · 2013-10-08, 08:24

finally high school life version. this will be sweat :3

chaotix37 · 2013-10-08, 08:31

ch 6 already. I guess this is already surpassed the one shot iirc.

Vezon · 2013-10-08, 10:17

It was surprising how the chapter open with " Ishida Shouya I hated that guy". hehe

Meltyred · 2013-10-08, 13:05

Pretty cute story once it got past what the one shot covered, The male lead is starting to make friends again, and stop hating everybody for whatever reason he could. Female lead... cute, and I dunno since we don't know what she went through for those 5 years yet.
Still has lot to do before he can be forgiven for what he did though.

This manga needs to be read by everyone

RRW · 2013-10-10, 15:29

chaotix37 · 2013-10-10, 19:20

So he became a hachiman since his mom is also like that... FEels alright.

ShiroiRyu · 2013-10-11, 02:10

The chapter 7 was pretty good.
The need each other ...
But i think the bullying will continu. :x

chaotix37 · 2013-10-11, 09:40

ch 8 is out. Why is it that he turns into a Hachiman ripoff?

ShiroiRyu · 2013-10-11, 19:47

Really liked how he made his friend.
The X on his face who go down....

Tranhieu · 2013-11-14, 12:27

Just read the serialization and OMG it was so AWESOME I couldn't believe I never heard of it! Those kids are such cruel creatures, and the teacher isn't much better for not coming to her aid even once. I've heard a lot about students in Japan getting bullied so much they had to commit suicide and this manga really did a great job delivering those feelings. This is just so much much much better than any other shounen I'm reading these days!

Flower · 2013-11-14, 12:43

Totally following this series ... thanks very much for the updates!

General summary at the top of the thread reminds me a little bit of an anime movie I saw that dealt with the subject. Let's see ... what was that one? I think it was "Happy Birthday - Inochi Kagayaku Toki".

Soliloquy · 2013-11-14, 19:22

This manga reminds me of Onani Master Kurosawa in some way as the main character chooses to admit that he bullied Nishimiya and chooses to isolate himself when he enters high school for redemption. The beginning of the chapters were painful I can say it was such a realistic setting.

Bern-san Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2009	Spoiler for ch 2-4: Ishida is a total bastard and Nishimiya is a saint. The part were she saw the board filled with nasty things after the singing competition and her only reaction is to say "thank you" was heartbreaking to me. She has a lot patience with everything they did to her. Especially Ishida. I also didn't like how he tried to blame her for everything going wrong. The examples they put about how he likes to pull pranks and tortured animals didn't help to improve my impression of him. The female teacher had good intentions but she needed more convincing arguments to make the class learn sign language. It was something hard to do. And lol at the girl who volunteered to learn sign language and help Nishimiya but stopped going to school for getting told that she was the teachers' pet. We get to see more of Ishida getting bullied even if he tried to make it seem like getting along with it. I almost felt sorry for him when he didn't want to worry his mother. By the way, I think the tutor is the biggest bastard. He admitted to Ishida that he understood why he harassed Nishimiya (hinting that maybe he would've done the same) and after the director came and blames Ishida, he also started to treat Ishida like shit like the rest of Ishida's classmates. Also saw the raws for 5 Spoiler for : Chapter focused on Ishida as he grew up and finally high school part! __________________
