I just realized I've literally never seen anything in anime about a cracking voice.
You see it all the time in western media where a pimply teenager starts breaking and sounds like the teenager from The Simpsons, but not once have I ever seen it in anime. You'd think it'd be really common too, what with all the middle school and high school settings, and it's not like they shy away from references to pubescence. There are plenty of times where pubic hair or developing breasts take an almost alarming front and center, but not a single thing about their voice. The only thing even close to this that I've seen is a manga about a choir boy worried about his deepening voice.
Do Japanese people's voices transition like butter? Is there some kind of taboo about their cracking voices?
