Yoshitoki Ōima

Yoshitoki Ōima's greatest achievement may be the emotional impact of her stories. A Silent Voice is frequently cited as a landmark work for its honest portrayal of bullying and deafness, and it has been credited with helping readers understand the experience of disability. The 2016 film adaptation expanded her reach, and To Your Eternity has built a dedicated international following. Her ability to create characters who grow and change in believable, moving ways has earned her a reputation as one of the most thoughtful storytellers in modern manga.
