## Synopsis

When a deaf girl named Shoko transfers into his elementary school, Shoya leads the class in tormenting her, until the cruelty spirals so far that she leaves and the blame falls squarely on him. Overnight, the ringleader becomes the outcast, and Shoya spends his adolescence isolated and weighed down by shame, unable to meet anyone's eyes. Years later, hollowed out and quietly searching for a way to set things right before it's too late, he resolves to find Shoko again, and to try, however clumsily, to atone for what he did to her.
