This movie is a movie that I can really relate to as the story is about school bullying, it can get very serious if not handled properly and may even cause death which is why the main character Shoya wants to make it up to Shoko the girl whom he bullied back in grade school, as he befriends her and find the mean of friends. Throughtout the story he and his friends bullied her but in the end his friends turned against him and they started to bully him, his friends telling other people that he was a bully once and asked everyone in their mid school to not befriends with him and from there he trusted no one and has no friends till he when to look for Shoko after many years trying to make it up to her. As the story he learns to trust someone and he made new friends along the way but all was for not when the friends he thought was started telling the others what happened back in the days. There a couple changes in the movie when compare to its manga counterpart, one of them was his teacher's reappearing, the other was the hospital scene where Ueno was there was a scene in the room itself which was cut out, and lastly was Shoko going to Tokyo for a year to learn about cutting hair which was not present at all in the movie.
