“Under our eyes without warning softly the summer afternoon let fall The rose upon the wall, And it lay there splintered. Terribly then into my heart the forgotten anguish entered.”

— Edna St. Vincent Millay, from There At Dusk I Found You in “Collected Poems Of Edna St. Vincent Millay”

Okay, does anyone want to be friends and eventually become more...and we open up about our past and cry in each other's arms? We go out for dinner dates and brunches, but also for 2am drives to nowhere in particular. But we're so happy to have each other, it doesn't matter where we are. So, then we run away to a different place where we can live together and have a mini farm with a couple of cows, chickens, and dogs and cats roam about the land. But we don't worry about then because we're completely secluded from the world. It's only us, and our animals, and our land that we call a home. Again, to reiterate, we can just be friends too I'm okay with that but like... Does anyone want this??? Just me? Okay.

In which I ramble about a movie

The reason "A Silent Voice" works so well is that at no point does the story try to justfiy the fact that Ishida Shouya bullied Nishimiya Shouko.

No excuse about him having a hard home life.

No trying to say that he bullied her as a child because he had a crush on her at the time.

When he himself is bullied later on, the story doesn't use this as a way to nullify the fact that he bullied his classmate in the past.

His remorse is realistic and he starts to feel regret soon after Nishimiya has to switch schools. He feels responsible even though he wasn't the only student who bullied her, even though the teacher was probably the most responsible of all, as he purposefully turned a blind eye to his students' behavior.

Ishida goes out of his way to learn sign language in order to make amends. The story doesn't tell us how long he had spent on learning the language before he found her again. It could have been months, maybe years.

He doesn't feel deserving of Nishimiya's friendship, but she's the one who decides to forgive him, no one pressures her into doing so. And you agree with her decision because of how well Ishida and his redemption is written.

He focuses on making her life better, probably out of a mixture of gratitude and a desire to assuage his guilt.

Nishimiya also feels guilty despite being innocent. She thinks Ishida would be better off without her friendship, believing he's being stigmatized because of her disability. All the while Ishida wants to spend more time with her to make up for his past, and to make her realize she's not at fault.

The story also treats the characters' depression with respect and doesn't really romanticize it. You want these characters to be at peace with themselves, with each other, and with the other people in their lives.

TL;DR

"A Silent Voice" works because it doesn't try to justify the former bully's actions, shows that he feels genuine remorse and is willing to change his behavior of his own accord in order to make ammends, thus making his redemption and his friendship with Nishimiya all the more believable.
