I only got around to finishing this today... and I still dislike Ueno.... and the ending felt lackluster.... and the beginning chapters were painful to the heart...

....but I'm glad I read it all the same.

Cutest girl is Yuzuru.

Hikaye mükemmeldi ama o son olmamış be...

This manga is so beautiful. I wish there was more to read, I must have more.

One of the best manga I've read. A treasure trove of character development, backstories and complex personalities. Top characters include Ishida, Mashiba, Yuzuru, Shouko, Ueno and Pedro. Argue all you want but that's my opinion!!!

Pedro = best girl

This story really resonates with me. Oddly enough, it's Ishida I sympathize with most. He inflicts far more punishment and suffering on himself for his actions than anyone else ever did. Kawai is a despicable character, the way she turns on the water works to garner sympathy and outs someone instantly to make herself look innocent. Seriously, she took off the glasses the first time to make sure everyone could see her cry. She's repulsive. Ueno is interesting. She can be hated for saying and doing the things she does at times, but she's also oddly likable and refreshing for having the brass set to be completely open and always voice what she's thinking and feeling. A lot of people don't have the fortitude to be that honestly straightforward.

This is a good story with complex characters that really makes you stop and think about the nature of relationships and human interaction.     

This manga really good ! ... can't believe it, it was tagged shounen where i think seinen is more suitable for this kind of story .... they are not somekind of cheap drama of hate and love ... everything was about redemption and how a guilty feelings keep haunting you back for something worse you did to someone else ..

Spoiler

i was suprised to read the first chapter of this manga .. it makes me feel angry that the school allowed somekind of bully like that happen ... a girl with disabillty get mixed in a group of normal kids .. of course she getting bullied and even to the point that i think already over the limit .. Ishida who becoming the main culprit feeling guilty for 5 years until he can met nishimiya shouko again the girl who he bullied in the elementary school ... the author really makes ishida want to correct things by helping shouko ... and this some kind of love developed between them, but looks it not the love that getting in the spotlight .. it was the sincere feeling of regret that happened between them, about their relationship with their friends that ended good ... and the last chapter really good, it make us to intepret what kind of ending that will happen to nishimiya and ishida .. even thought the dense ishida still don't know the 3 secret that naoko mean to him ... score 90/100 for me ..

I'll be honest. This is one of my favorites of all time. 
Yeah, I've been watching anime and reading manga since the 90's and few have had the impact on me as this one has had. The pacing of the story, the honest and brutal way it handles the issues of communication, bullying, friendship, and self isolation. The art is great, and the character development is spot on. 
Whenever the movie comes out, I will definitely watch it. 

All of this manga is on Crunchroll

Honest, beautiful, real, and truly compelling. A work of art and love. Of the hundreds of manga I've read, I can safely say this stands in the shadow of none of them. It is in a league all its own. 

Read this. This is not a suggestion, it is a requirement.

If you like Deaf protagonists... new anime just started airing:

Gangsta

I didn't realize the guy was deaf until halfway through the first episode, I thought he was just an ass that didn't answer phones!

Warning though, lots of violence and prostitute sex.

I cried and cried.. It's so painful but I am glad I finished it. 

Rereading this and as I read the beginning again, my heart is just wrenching and torn knowing what I already know yet I also know that the pay off is great as well.....

Mmmm... Good manga but too sudden ending. I didn't even know that was the ending until just now coming back to the manga.

I find it so difficult to read this. When I read this , I am consumed by self-hatred. I hate those kids and those people who act that way, then I realize that I myself acted this way before. Always protecting myself by hurting others. I gave up reading after a few chapters, because it hurts my heart so much.

Wow! Wow...wow. That's so good! It immediately went to the top 5, easily!

I thought I'd never see a coming-of-age story on par with  Onani Master Kurosawa, but it seems I finally found it! The main difference is Onani is a story of redemption of a single person, right after his deeds. This story seems to be somewhat similar in this regard. However, it is much different. Though a coming of age alright, it is actually the simultaneous growth and redemption of both main characters, with a large gap between it all. Like a sorrowful but beautiful dance of the two, they awkwardly move forward. The other characters are good as well, though not given much the spotlight for me to attach to them.

My main gripe with the series was the pacing. It never stop to catch its breath. It is one thing after the other and when you blink, its over. There was much that could be explored, but perhaps that was envisioned from the start, given how late they are already on high school when it begins.

About the ending:

Oh gosh, now I really want more of it. Then it would be a 11. That was a heavy and artful manga for a newcomer. Let's see what more can she show us.

glad i read this

the story was great but I didn't like ending ie expected more but is ok, now I'll wait for the animation.
