This thing and noaka just totally ruins the story. Rated 4/5 but it's about half that. How hard would it be to just keep it a redemption/romance story without the extra bullshit? But muh realism doesn't work because if you really made the story like that then the characters would be ugly and never meet up again like this. One of them would have successfully suicided. It's just selectively injecting the worse shit from real life while pretending it's super deep instead of annoying and distracting. What a waste of ink/data/money etc.

>>283471005It's not about realism, author just wanted a story about shitty people. Which is why Ueno is such a violent nigger.
>>283471005I recall the author saying she thought putting the story from the victim's point of view would be boring because that just becomes a story about bullying, but by making the story about the bully she still made him out to be a victim of bullying anyway so it was still a story about bullying but also gaslighting because everyone blamed the deaf girl for "not communicating". Nothing was achieved by this film's existence except becoming the biggest virtue larp magnet of all time. I hear the manga is better, it gives the deaf girl more of a character arc and personality compared to the movie.
>>283471005So its bad because its not what you wanted?
>>283471005It's fairly obvious that they were trying really hard to turn the oneshot in a longer story and that's where all the retarded bullshit and drama was coming from. It's honestly better just to read that and forget the rest.
