I received an eARC of this title through NetGalley in return for an honest review.

This was a cute first volume of a shojo! When I first started reading it, I did not know it would have a protagonist who could not see well. I thought it was handled very well. I also liked when it showed her perspective of what she could see to help better understand how she sees the world.

The premise is sweet and funny. A boy who is known as a "bad boy" falls in love with a girl because she sees through his "bad boy" persona which makes him want to be better. It is all about not judging someone by the way they look. It goes in to how he has a hard time finding a job because he has a scar from when he was in a gang.

The two protagonists are honestly adorable. I would recommend giving this manga a read if you want something cute with a lot of heart.

Fun and informative. I didn't think about some of the ways people can make the world around us easier to navigate for those with vision impairments. It's really cool how the delinquents ended up being allies and changing the video store for the better. I'm curious what will come next!

A refreshing take on disability that you don’t see often. I want more manga like this. Very funny, lighthearted and adorable story of a soft hearted delinquent and a sweet girl with a vision impairment. Does an excellent job showing what life can be like for people with disabilities like myself and how our differences should be celebrated.

I wasn’t expecting this to be so great and to have so many interesting and well thought out conversations about disability and accessibility. Granted Kurokawa falls for Akaza in an unrealistic way, but I think the most important aspect of the narrative is how their affection continues to grow for each other. Kurokawa is presented as this hard core delinquent but he has a soft, caring side that’s dedicated to making Akaza feel appreciated. I’m really glad that I picked this one up and I can’t wait to continue on with the series.

I received an eARC courtesy of VIZ Media/VIZ Media LLC via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Delightful, charming and beautifully illustrated.

For Libraries: Purchase where romcom mangas are heavily circing.
