Yet another tearful piece of the story. I'm finding it weird to see how Shoya's mom is dealing with the entire situation, but if there is one thing I definitely could not ignore was the part in which Shoko was so fed up with the entire situation that she wanted nothing but to end her own life, and once again this was done in such a powerful way. Oima depicts with perfection how this decision affects the ones who love you the most. This is the part that ends up building Yuzuru as the character she is now, and this is so fantastic, because at the same time it begins to work their mother's personality as well.

In spite of still hating Naoka, I can't say all characters aren't complex and very well-built. They reflect very well the idea that each person is fighting their own battles. Loved it.
