A Silent Voice Complete Collector's Edition 1

This collector's edition is everything that a fan of A Silent Voice could have hoped for. It's huge, has great quality glossy paper, has a good hardcover design and it also has 50+ pages of bonus content like character sketches, interviews and also a never before published one shot of the story in English. Seriously, if you are a fan of Kyoani's A Silent Voice movie adaptation, then do yourself a favor and buy these two complete collector's editions of the manga. You will get to know much much more about the characters and their lives as well as fill in the blanks in the many unexplained parts of the movie that can be confusing for those who didn't read the manga like for example the nutria which was held up during the opening song. If you are looking to collect the whole series, I will wholeheartedly recommend you to buy these two collector's volumes. Rest assured you won't be disappointed.

“A Silent Voice, Complete Collector’s Edition 1” by Yoshitoki Oima is the first half of manga (roughly 3.5 volumes) that was later animated into the beautiful film by Kyoto Animation. Included as extras are the original “pilot” short story, a cover art gallery, & several interviews with the creator. As a collector’s edition, it’s beautiful & hardback & filled with extras that truly deepen one’s understanding of the material. A story about a deaf girl that was horribly bullied by her later elementary school peers, only for her worst bully to end up bullied as well. As the story begins, he has spent years dealing with regret for what he’s done & seeks to undo as much of the hurt he caused as he can. While this plot may put some people off, I think others will find a story about how complicated communication between people is & how especially miscommunication hurts everyone. Also, people can & do change. I’ll be honest, I watched the anime first. It was recommended to me by a good friend… & it still somehow took me over a year to watch it, but it is one of the best anime films I’ve ever seen (many times now). After buying the BluRay & having watched it several times… I had to read the manga to see how good the source material was. The manga delivers. While one can view it as being about the layered problem of bullying &/or a perspective from the deaf / hard of hearing, the manga is truly about communication & how we often fail to communicate with one another. & honestly it’s a stellar meditation on how much we can get wrong by not listening to one another, not putting ourselves in one another’s perspective, & not listening even to ourselves. & conversely, we can learn so much about ourselves & others when we try to truly listen. The art is also gorgeous & the story is wonderfully thought out. This is definitely not for someone with a narrow view though. This is for people who are open to seeing that we all hurt one another & fail, yet we have to keep trying to communicate. This is one of my favorite things I’ve ever read & I can’t wait to read the 2nd edition (covering the remaining 3.5 volumes of the manga). It also deepens my love for the film, which truly condensed the series into a watchable movie that still had the right amount of plot & character interaction. It also had so many Easter Eggs & small things that I might never have noticed if I hadn’t read the manga. Still a tad shocked it was serialized in a shonen manga magazine (shonen is manga targeted toward a younger “male” audience & usually is more plot / action driven), as it reminds me more of a shojo manga (young “female” targeted manga usually centered more on relationships). That probably just shows my bias & lack of understanding though. Please, if you have an open heart, read this wonderful manga. 💜

Watched the movie and wanted to read the manga, the manga adds more detail and depth than the movie so this is a must buy for dedicated fans! Things are definitely more clearer and feel more ‘fluid’ and ‘immerse’, not to mention the extra unique content at the end. Much love

I love this book, it's as good as it is in the anime but the manga has more content, the emotions are good,

Good quality print, paper and the hard bound cover. I got both of the collectors edition now for my daughter.
