A Silent Voice is based on the best-selling manga series by Yoshitoki Oima that was already adapted into a hit anime series for television. It tells the poignant and moving story of Shoya Ishida, a school bully, and Shoko Nishimiya, a young girl with a hearing disability. The famed studio produced the film Kyoto Animation, directed by Naoko Yamada and written by Reiko Yoshida.
