Tsugumi's parents are not that great. I know their trying to watch out for her but, all the ableism in this (Japan is not a very disable friendly country).
Tirgger Warnings: Ableism, medical content, medical trauma, panic attack, and injuries

This series is giving what's supposed to be gave in romance manga
Absolutley loved the inner conflicts both Tsugumi and Itsuki have going into their new relationship. Tsugumi not knowing if she's enough to be there for Itsuki and tries to over-compensate for it, pushing her to ignore her own health. Then there's Itsuki who struggles with the idea of what their relationship could be like if he was an able-bodied person. Two really strong story arcs that im excited to see expanded on.
A side plot I liked that was added in was how Tsugumi's father reacted to finding out about Itsuki's disability. While her father may have good intentions and is concerend, his attitude towards Itsuki is completely disrespectful and degrading, and that's a struggle that able-bodied people don't really care to think about. To them they're just showing loving concern, when in actuality it's always done in a completely uncalled for, and rude way. I like that this manga never wants to shy away from the hard realities of not being like everyone else.
Can't wait to read volume 3!

The romance between Itzuki and Tsugumi blossoms – and the love triangles are introduced. I’m 100% invested now. Cannot believe I’m committing to a manga series! Me?! The one who has refused to be completely sucked into manga knowing they go on and on and on and on. I’ll be tapping my fingers impatiently awaiting the library cataloguer finishing the prep-to-shelve of #3.

The story is picking up, which is good since I found the first volume a bit on the boring side. This story kept me hooked and was easy to binge. I continue to enjoy the disability rep and hope our characters find their footing a bit more in the next volume.

Oh no this series better not make me cry!
This one already almost had me... but it's so good!
Much better than the first volume.
