This volume does an excellent job in showcasing the blatant cruelty children can have towards those who are deemed different. Shoko, because she is deaf, and Shoya, because the tides turn against him. I do wish the volume was a little longer but stopping where it does successfully makes me want to read the next volume.
Graphic: Toxic friendship, Suicidal thoughts, Bullying, and Ableism
