Perfect World, Volume 2 by Rie Aruga

5.0

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!
