A Silent Voice Anime Film Streams in India on Crunchyroll

Crunchyroll describes the film:

Shoya Ishida once bullied his deaf classmate, Shoko Nishimiya, pushing her to transfer schools and leaving himself abandoned by his friends. Now a lonely high schooler consumed by guilt, he seeks her out to apologize. When their paths cross again, Shoya and Shoko must navigate friendship, blame, and the fragile hope that they can rewrite the story they started years ago.

The film opened in September 2016. It earned 2.3 billion yen in Japan, and was the 19th highest-grossing film released in Japan in 2016.

Naoko Yamada and Kyoto Animation's anime film is based on Yoshitoki Ōima's manga of the same name. A Silent Voice began as a one-shot that Ōima published in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in 2011. She then turned it into a full story with the launch of a serialization in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in 2013. The series ended in November 2014. Kodansha published seven compiled book volumes for the manga.

Manga creator Yoshitoki Ōima attended the Jaipur Literature Festival and New Delhi World Book Fair in India from January 17-19.
