A silent voice: The need for public health

This manga or cartoon said vulgarly of which literature is also considered, that is, that it takes a receiver action to an enlightened way, that is why, this time it is developed by the yoshitoki mangaka ôima born in the country ofJapan, author of several examples, in this case we are going to talk about one of them called "Koe no Katachi" that translated into Spanish is "a silent voice", executed on August 7, 2013 (one year three months of production),This story has 62 chapters of which it is divided into 7 volumes or volumes, but before the story was distributed in the weekly magazine of Shônen and has an additional film where the whole story itself develops (a silent voice, 2020).

This story has a personal introduction by the author, he says that her mother who has an auditory disability, so she has helped her start this manga together with her older sister by adapting and incorporating illustrations that make actions of said disability indifferent characters while the plot develops.

However, including sign language within a larger preference cartoon that is for children and youngDifferent disabilities such as: deaf, mute, or deaf -mute, blind, and/or disabled, that is why, in a lot of attention from several people this story and more has the introduction of sign language, of which it canhave more sympathy towards other people.

In the first chapters, the story begins to develop in a small school located in the city of Japan, a girl is incorporated into a class, her name is Nishimiya Shõko that has a hearing impairment, so a classmate of the class that stands out a lot,It is Ishida Shõya, who is intimidated to her new partner to make her bullying on several occasions or meetings along with her classmates;They began to hurt her and insult her without realizing herself, to the point of removing her auditory devices and breaking them, it is terminated that he was reported by the school’s direct by accusation of the girl’s mother, her classmates were against herAnd as a result their classmates took the initiative to ignore it, hurt him and make him go through the same thing he did to his former classmate, Nishimiya Shõko, since he was transferred to another school.

Seen from another point, in school life, on certain occasions it usually happens, not only to students with different disabilities but also to students who are shy or have a different quality than others, that is, they are considered cartoonists or who touch ainstrument or make a different sport or not known;There are certain students who coin superior or feel superior than others, for some reason they think it would be their grace to bother or harass these students. Bullying is a serious and delicate issue to deal with, in other words, we must take action or seek a solution to end or look for an atmosphere of sympathy with other individuals.

Since his school classmates kept him isolated, he has been preserved to secondary, forgive and forgive himself;He begins to renew himself, to the point of meeting with the people he hurts in the past, with the first one he finds is the former company of him Nishimiya Shõko.

In the following chapters, there are the protagonists, she discovers that he has learned sign language to establish a conversation, so her friendship is renewed and Shõya withdraws her idea of making a bad decision from which it is to take off her life. Ishida asks Nishimiya for help to gather her ex-school partners to apologize and start over. In the course of time, positivism advances but there are also the bad moments of which they can be repaired.

This story makes us reflect, which has three fundamental points to take into account, the first: bullying or harasshappening in that person’s life or that we find a weakness just to bother him, the action here is to solve and feel sympathy for the other, look for solutions or be surrounded by reliable and understanding people. The second is: it is never too late to start over, that is, you must change from the inside, to see your mistakes and repair, apologize and forgive it does not cost, but it is difficult to take the initiative to start little by little, and thirdAnd last is: inclusion makes us see positive ways of generating sympathy for others, that are part of the moment and accept them as they are.

That said, I consider that, this cartoon or manga has many positive and negative factors, in other words, the author manages to express in that, we must be empathic beings with others, what should be good good people, be reasonable people and we mustInclude people with different disabilities or just because they are different from others, but, for mere fact that they are part of our life, to be taken into account.
