Serf’s Weekly Manga Recommendations Week 20:
Shino Can’t Say Her Name
“High school can be a stressful time for many young people. The change means a new commute, new friends, new courses, new teachers. For Shino Oshima the change could have meant an opportunity to blossom into adulthood. Unfortunately, things go wrong on her first day - she fails to even say her name during her homeroom introduction. From then on Shino is a part-mute part-stuttering mess. Ostracized and afraid she struggles to find her place in this new world... But thankfully for her, she finds her voice through music and some unexpected new frienemies.”

If you’ve read any of Shuzo Oshimi’s works (Flowers of Evil, Happiness, Blood on the Tracks, Inside Mari) then you know what to expect in terms of the heavy emotional atmosphere, but while his works are a little too depressing for me in most respects, this one shot hits everything just right for me, the stress isn’t too much (in part due to how short it is) and it is very cathartic by the end. Her guitar friend is very cute. I hope all the characters went on to have very happy lives.
