However, I can relate to him in other aspects. Aruga-san has done extensive research for her work and it shows. From complications to the general lifestyle of wheelchair-bound people, her compassion and interest shine through. I have a lot of thoughts about the representation of Ayukawa's disability (but I'm not disabled myself, so please take these thoughts with a grain of salt):

Slightly jarring time skips - realistically, the manga goes through A LOT of years. I'm not fully sure, but it covers a 5-6 year span or so through its entirety. A live-action TV Drama adaptation was announced on January 30, 2019. It was directed by Keiichirō Shiraki, written by Mayumi Nakatani, and Tori Matsuzaka and Mizuki Yamamoto performed the leads. It aired on Fuji TV and Kansai TV starting on April 16, 2019. [38] [39] It ran for ten episodes. [40] Reception [ edit ] From age 5 to age 11, I lived with my grandmother whose body was 96% immobile. From Monday to Friday, she'd take care of me (alone, my grandpa was dead by that time). During the weekend, I'd be with my parents. Haruto's story was heartbreaking. The poor guy, I hope that with what Itsuki has done for him, showed him, that he can pave a new road to something awesome. Plus I hope he can accept his girlfriend again, she has waited for him. She has been visiting for a year now, waiting, waiting. I think you don't need to be worried she may run away from you (like Itsuki's girlfriend in college did after the accident).Pineda, Rafael Antonio (July 6, 2019).

There's an important thing about relationships - it's that once you look past the beauty, the fun and the good times, there are difficulties. Your partner could have depression, alcoholism, have been sexuality assaulted or be in a wheelchair. It's how you deal with these difficulties that makes your connection all the more great and your time together so much more meaningful. a b Hodgkins, Crystalyn (April 20, 2019).

Volume 2 introduces Nagisaki, Ayukawa’s caregiver and his former physical therapy nurse, who harbors romantic feelings for Ayukawa. In Act 7, she kisses him while he is sleeping; this is framed as jealousy for Kawana and the introduction of a love triangle rather than gross misconduct by a caregiver.

Cerita : 5 bintang...❤❤❤ direkomendasikan untuk para penggemar Isyarat Mieko , Happy! , dan The Shape of Voice . I generally like the story. I am not disabled, nor do I intimately know many people in wheelchairs, but I think the author does a great job of pointing out the difficulties people in wheelchairs face on a daily basis. My main complaint is the female lead--it's like she's a 15-year-old trapped in a 26-year-old's body. I'm hoping the story will develop so we learn why she's like this, because if we don't, it's really a disservice to the readers. I really expect a woman who's coming out of her mid-20s and running into her late-20s to have a level head. The misunderstandings between the couple are also the misunderstandings of teenagers. I give the lead male a pass because I'm certain that suddenly facing a disability makes you think differently than your normally would and also because he's in his 20s and in my experience (as a much older reader of manga), men really don't emotionally mature until their 30s. Extended period of time covered -- I said it's a bit jarring (the transitions just feel awkward); however, it's great to see a series which follows the main couple through several years with distinctive progression and life situations. There was this one time I was at university and this blind student was tapping his cane listlessly and looked really lost. He turned to ask people for directions to a building but they mostly walked away, hoping he wouldn't realise they were there. (I understand this - in our world we're not told how to deal with situations like this; I blame no one). I asked him if he needed help. He said he needed to get to the law building. I didn't know where the building was, so he explained to me and I guided him. You could say it was a case of the blind leading the blind. We had a really nice conversation about the subjects we shared and he talked about his dogs, and I talked about mine.Overall, I will be continuing reading this series and I would recommend it, albeit with some caveats. Ayukawa is simply a great character. Later on, Kawana becomes a fleshed-out counterbalance to her earlier persona.
