Akira Ono is the main female character in the anime series _Hi Score Girl_ (1
and 2) currently on Netflix. Her character never speaks, yet the reason for
her silence, although used for certain effect/s, is not directly given.

I did some research, and one possible psychological reason, and which makes
sense along with her character's story, is that she is being severely abused
at home and this causes some children to completely and voluntarily stop
talking. I was wondering if anyone else had any thoughts on this.

In "Hi Score Girl", why does Akira Ono not speak at all?


According to the fandom wiki for _Hi Score Girl_ , it says that she doesn't
talk because it's a quirk of the anime. Heres a quote from the _Hi Score Girl_
Wiki on Fandom

  * "Despite being very smart, she never talked. Most likely it's part of the plot that she doesn't talk at all in the story. Most of the time, Haruo can read her facial expressions to guess what she's thinking and wanting. She makes small voices like "Umm", nodding, and shaking her head as a way to say yes or no."[Hi Score Girl Wiki](https://hiscoregirl.fandom.com/wiki/%C5%8Cno_Akira)

Other than that it might have to do with something else, but I am yet to read
the manga. There are notions to the fact that she is able to speak but it's
more of an off-screen thing. I got this particular idea from a Reddit post.

  * "She can talk, she just never does it “on screen,” but there are references to her having conversations with other characters."

I couldn't get the link for this.

As per my view, Akira's character is mute because it gives some uniqueness in
her character, so it can easily look attractive character to the user. The
manga mentioned that she talk with her sister. It represents trust with her
sister Haruo. Here Akira represents the trust like, her sister understands
well without making fun of her. She is mute with other characters. Normally I
think the character showed up kind and honest.
