Most likely you have never heard of this manga ("Ooshima-chan Cannot Say her Own Name"), but you may know another one by this mangaka which recently got a controversial anime adaption known as "Aku no Hana." Shino-chan resembles Aku no Hana in more ways than just the very similar art style (the manga's of course not the anime's style).
Story - 8/10
For a manga that only consists of 11 short 20 page chapters, this manga manages to have a well rounded story with good character development (for a short manga), interesting characters, and a very good ending. Even if you're a slow reader like me, it'll

As someone who stutters, I was intrigued to read this manga, especially since it's only one volume. Initially, the first two chapters captured my attention and resonated with me as the main character's experiences mirrored my own. However, as the story progressed, I found the portrayal of stuttering to be overly dramatized, making it uncomfortable and awkward to read. The final "speech" in public was particularly exaggerated, and it felt unrealistic for someone who stutters to act in such a manner.
Nevertheless, considering that the main character is a teenager, known for their tendency to overdramatize everything, I can understand why the depiction veered towards the ...

TL;DR: Read the first chapter. If you like it keep reading, if you don't then stop there, because it is just more of the same.
On a personal level and a critical level, I did not enjoy shino-chan wa jibun no namae ga Ienai. However, I do understand why some people might. It's different than most people read and sometimes that is enough. Story:4 The story has a syncopated rhythm to it, which could have been effective if the events had any actual impact (besides the ending, which was impactful, but not well written). The story spun its wheels for a while, making it hard ...

The story was good but 6/10
I related a lot with the main protagonist (Shino) of this manga. It's about a girl who has troubles of speaking and anxiety. As someone who has trouble communicating with others face to face, I could feel her pain. But I have one big problem with this manga, and I was very unsatisfied with it. It was the ending. This might have spoilers but yeah. If you don't wanna see spoilers, you shouldn't read this portion: The ending was very rushed. I thought Shino was gonna sing for her friend who just humiliated herself by singing in the stage. But ...

Imagine you're a psychologist, and you want to describe a psychological trait. What would you do? What is the best "form" to discuss such a thing?
I think it's by means of manga. And this particular manga showcases how this can be done. And how you can truly help people address a psychological matter that impairs them and brings them discomfort. This is a masterwork. It's a living thing. It made me cry, it made me happy. It made me wonder. It is an absolutely great work of art and of soul. It is like life. True life. I wish I could ever get to write a story ...

It's never too late to make friends ... Shino is a girl who can't pronounce her name, that leads to constant teasing at school, but one day she meets a girl who becomes her friend, maybe that will change her.
Personally I think he can able to develop the work much more, he had the quality to do it and make Shinokayo a spectacular band A different work from what Oshimi has us used to, if you like the author, give it a try. Oshimi experimento algo distinto con Shino-chan tal vez un Shoujo slide of life que al final no le gusto del todo y termino de ... |
