Go

Brian Nishii's nuanced performance as Sugihara is nothing short of remarkable; his voice conveys the protagonist's pain and vulnerability with such authenticity that it’s hard not to feel every beat of his heart. The audiobook excels in depicting the stark contrasts between Sugihara's daily torment at school and the bittersweet moments he spends with Miku, a Japanese girl who becomes the light in his otherwise dark world. However, some sections feel rushed, particularly during crucial emotional scenes that could benefit from more time to resonate fully. Despite this minor critique, Go is a compelling listen for anyone seeking an authentic portrayal of high school struggles and the enduring power of first love.
