14 - gosh this Tomohiro is so damn funny! He makes himself at home at Shoya’s... and grabs Yuzuru when she’s skulking around. Makes him apologize and even drags him/her to a bath to bond, lol. She runs away pretty traumatized and finds Shoka. It’s pretty cute how they both tell each other later in sign language. Yuzuru softens toward Shoya and realizes he causes feelings in her sister.

13 - they find her! It’s pretty scary... Yuzuru and Shoya hash out the past... sure he felt guilty but that’s why when he saw her again he wanted to dedicate his life to her. Hahaha that won Yuzuru around, she’s a softy. The mother’s weakness is gone from earlier and she tells him nothing he does will make up for the past... but she gives him an umbrella.

Interesting that talking to Shoya Yuzuru got an idea why Shoka also doesn’t get angry.

12 - Maria Shoya’s cute little niece finds Yuzuru in the playground passed out. Yuzuru admits he wrote the article and Shoya is relieved he felt he brought it on himself and at least he knows why he wrote the article. Shoya is worried about him (her) and carries him home. They feed him. Shoka’s mother comes looking for Shoka! They go out to look for her...

11 - we learn the boy is Yuzuru, Shoka’s little sister who used to get bullied too because of her sister, but instead of taking it in stride Yuzuru fought back and became boyish like their mother wanted. She took the photos and did the article as Shoka and I realized. She makes an angry face at her sister... pretty sweet sibling!

10 - his mom confronts him having realized he must have been going to kill himself. It’s pretty cute and wonderful, she burns the 17;000 he saved lol. The boy attacks Shoya and says Shoka is his girlfriend. Haha Shoya believes him even though he’s a lot younger. Then he’s suspended from school! Someone pasted a pic of him jumping in after Shoka pretending to be him bragging?!

9 - haha the same kid is there but this time Shoya’s new friend comes and makes enough ruckus that Shoka hears. They talk and he admits he didn’t know if he was worthy to be her friend. Nagatsuka and “the boy” eavesdrop using a camera, haha... turns out Shoka is the boy’s sister.

8 - Shoya wants to go see Shoka again but doesn’t know what to say... he sees a fat outcast fighting for his bike and offers the bully his... only to find the bike was stolen. He walks home and gets a flyer about bread and uses a baguette as a reason to go see Shoka only a girl from her class won’t let him in. At home the fat kid has his bike, says he found it in a rice paddy.

The thing is Shoya was going to jump off a skyscraper today. Shoka’s acceptance saved him from that. He went home to his sweet mom and got to see her happy face at the money he gave her. The symbol of the torn calendar wow... impressive and makes me want to cry. She can teach him a ton about resilience...

7 - he feeds the carp with her on the bridge and tells him she likes being needed. Her mom comes and recognizes him immediately. Shoka dives for the book when her mother throws it and he jumps in after her. I totally get her mom’s reaction. This was a tough time in all their lives and she can’t imagine her daughter wants to risk the new place they’re at trying again with this loser.
