He also feels resigned to the fact that he will never be able to have friends again. Shoya feels like he has not been punished enough for bullying Shouko and often wishes he could stop his younger self. Upon meeting her in high school, he eventually apologizes to Shouko, becoming fluent in sign language specifically to do so, and begins to spend time with her. Shoya starts to ignore those around him (imagining them with a large X across their face). As a result, he becomes ostracized and bullied by his former friends. When the bullying gets the attention of higher school authorities, the class turns Shoya into a scapegoat so they will not have to also take responsibility. In elementary school, he leads his class in bullying Shouko. Shoya Ishida ( 石田 将也, Ishida Shōya) The main character and narrator. At the end of the Age Day, Shoya and Shouko are seen going into their elementary school reunion together holding hands so that Shouko will feel less nervous. By then, Shoya has stopped ignoring the people around him and now has a lot of friends. Once he recovers, Shoya reconciles with his film crew and finally completes the film, which, while a failure, has greatly helped him and his friends.Ī year after their high school graduation and their subsequent parting ways, the seven reunite for the Coming of Age Day. This impacts the other six of the group as they start to resolve their problems while suspending the project until Shoya awakens. As she believes she is the sole reason for the parting of the group, Shouko attempts to kill herself and is rescued by Shoya, who gets badly hurt in the process, falling into a coma. The group also has a falling out when Shoya tries to isolate himself again by insulting the crew, leading to Shouko feeling sorry for him. Shouko eventually tries to confess her love to Shoya, but it does not get through to him and ends up in a misunderstanding. Throughout the filming, the seven face their personal challenges and conflicts. The seven begin to work together when Tomohiro's plan to create a film for a competition, which he plans to only include Shoya and himself, attracts the attention of Naoka, Miki, Tomohiro, and Satoshi, with Shoya additionally inviting Shouko to join the project. They also make new friends in Tomohiro Nagatsuka, a similarly friendless fat boy who owes Shoya and Satoshi Mashiba, Miki's crush. Realizing that both are suffering due to his past sins, Shoya sets out on a path of redemption by trying to reconnect Shouko with their old classmates that Shouko never had the chance to befriend back then, including Shoya's former comrade, Naoka Ueno, who holds a grudge against Shouko for "causing" Shoya’s isolation Miki Kawai, their narcissistic former class president and Miyoko Sahara, a kind girl who was the only one attempting to befriend Shouko years before. To make amends, he reunites with Shouko, who is still lonely due to her shyness. When Shoya’s actions are finally condemned by the principal, all of his friends and teachers turn against him, socially isolating him well into high school to the point that he eventually considers suicide, which he believes would absolve him of his bad deeds.
