Great chapter, I'm glad things turn out this way for the 2 protagonists :o


But I wonder... Does Nishimiya's mother hate her ? In an extra chapter it was clearly the case but now I don't know anymore...

So she offered him a glimmer of hope that is going to keep him going, things seem to be looking up.

This chapter really shows that both Shouya and Shouko need each other to keep going, it was really sweet when she told him that she'll see him later, that's enough to keep him going. But I really do wonder about that mom, there is really something up with here and I don't think that it just has to do with Shouko being bullied.

Oh man, this was quite the emotional chapter. You can really tell Shouko's mother acknowledges Shouya for trying to make things right with Shouko but she hasn't been able to forgive Shouya for all the horrible things he did to Shouko. I'm sure Shouko doesn't get bullied at all now but Shouya is now all alone and excluded from everything. Man, Shouya has it so rough. He even thought about committing suicide, damn! I really hope Shouko and Shouya get together. :3 Also, DAT SLAP. xD

The way I see it, she most definitely doesn't hate her.
She acts in a way that feels harsh and cruel, but in her own way I believe she's just trying to protect her daughter.
She said herself, in the extra chapter (if memory serves me right, that is), that she wants her daughter to be strong.
That's also the reason she threw the notebook to the river; she wanted Shouko to let go of that "weak" part of her that tried to befriend the bullies.
The eventual result may be just her being an ass, but I definitely don't think that's her intention xD

I apologize for that tl;dr.

I'm glad to see that Nishiyama finally found a school where she is accepted as she is.

Holy shit, I didn't understood that ripping the calender meant that he was planning to kill himself. She really did indeed save him.

When I saw that they were getting along, I immidiately thought about the mom and of course, there she was. And she wasn't happy to see him back.

What I expect from now on : Ishida trying to get forgiven by Nishiyama mom, Ishida meeting his ex-classmate (maybe with Shouko?), his ex-classmate be surprised by their reconciliation and maybe even be mad by it. They will probably be upset by each other again, but I guess that they will grow a stronger link.

I guess the mother will be the biggest hurdle since she will not easily forgive him for what he did to her daughter. And somehow, he deserve that slap. But this chapter is amazing. I am so glad they meet again!!

The mother's point of view is probably to relieve her daughter's memories of her poor treatment from elementary. In some sense I do not blame her because Shouya might have been doing it for ulterior motives.

I wonder if the mother's slapping him is better than ignoring him. She didn't tell him to stay away from her daughter after all.

At first read you think the mother is justified and she's but knowing the full story the mom is really a bully to her daughter in some sense too. Especially if you read the special book that came with the movie, she treats Nishiyama like shit because she thinks this way she will grow stronger and be normal. This chapter alone honestly foreshadowes this, she doesn't let her daughter communicate, she pushes her without hearing a word from her. Nishiyama unfortunately suffered in school and home alike since her mom couldn't give her the needed affection and love after all the stress.
