Shino Can't Say Her Name by Shuzo Oshimi

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.

"There may be a mangaka who can get more emotion of out dialogue, but[..]it takes a whole different sense of visual storytelling to get drama out of a speech impediment and Oshimi pulls it off better than anyone I can think of. Recommended." - Otaku USA Magazine

Shuzo Oshima, who is just in his mid-thirties, is already regarded as a seasoned veteran of the Japanese comics scene. Oshima has been writing amusing slice-of-life stories for big manga publishers like Kodansha for for a decade, winning the most prominent comics honors for rookies, the Tetsuya Chiba Award in 2001. Following nine series, Oshimi's star began to grow in 2008, when his first hit, Drifting Net Café, was released. Drifting Classroom, a horror-themed homage to famed Kazu Umezzo's work, was transformed into a live-action series, propelling Oshimi into the international arena. In 2009, with The Flowers of Evil, he would soar to new heights. The property quietly landed on various must-read lists in 2010 and 2011, helping to reinvigorate the shonen genre.
