The box office of the animated film "A Silent Voice" produced by Kyoto Animation has been rising steadily since its release. The official announcement previously stated that the box office of this film has exceeded 1.6 billion yen, and everyone thinks that it will be no problem to surpass Kyoto Animation's previous highest-grossing "K-ON!" The movie version. Now, according to news from an official TV program, the box office of "A Silent Voice" has exceeded 1.9 billion yen, surpassing the box office of "K-ON!" and becoming the number one box office revenue of Kyoto Animation's animated theatrical version.

The comic "A Silent Voice" was previously controversial because of the plot in the story that showed people with disabilities being bullied, but it also attracted many readers because of the overlapping of various human natures of the characters and the plot that reflects reality. Nishimiya Shoko is a hearing-impaired person. She cannot communicate with others smoothly except for sign language and notebooks. After transferring to another school, she is still ostracized by her classmates. Her classmate Shoya Ishida even leads other classmates to bully her. But perhaps it is retribution. An unintentional prank by the whole class broke Shoko's hearing aid. As a result, the whole class unanimously put the blame on Shoya, making him the object of ostracism. Shoko looked at Shoya who was ostracized and wanted to care about him, but was misunderstood. Shoko transferred to another school. Shoya, who was promoted to high school, became a loner. His only wish was to apologize to Shoko in person. And this wish changed when he met Shoko again.
