It's been six years since Shoya's bullying of Shoko forced her to change schools. Now their paths have crossed again and Shoya is determined to apologize for what he's done. But what if she won't? Or can't? Her mother has certainly made it clear that he should stay away from her daughter and one of Shoko's classmate is equally determined to keep him from seeing her. Still, Shoya is determined to make up for his past mistakes. 
 This manga continues to explore the multifaceted outcomes of bullying. Shoya is determined to make things up to Shoko, but he also realizes that she might not be able to forgive him and probably shouldn't. He has quite a bit of character growth in this volume (and definitely from the flashbacks of volume 1). Looking forward to seeing what other ideas the next volume with explore.
