This was a little intense. The end scene was a lot.

This volume was so much better. We get to see real world issues somebody with a disability like Ayukawa’s face every single day and how miscommunication can still happen even while trying to communicate. I did think the love triangles on both sides were wild, but overall I loved this volume and the ending in this one had me sobbing. 😭

I wish this book spent more time exploring Ayukawa's personality and the relationship dynamic between the two MCs... there's a lot of "wow, disability is hard!" in a way that sometimes makes it seem like disability is the beginning and end of his personality. On the other hand, I still feel like there's potential for the story to go in an interesting direction once the groundwork is laid. I guess we'll see.

Definitely better than the first one, but I still don’t think the writing is the strongest or the most engaging. I am also at times confused as to what is happening or who is speaking. It got better towards the end though, and it does tackle real-life issues in a way that is not at all romanticizing disabilities. I also think it was explored a bit more why they like each other which I’d felt was a major deficit in the first volume. Maybe I’ll give three a shot, but I still don’t see this series captivating me enough to read to the end.

Honestly, after the first volume, I was expecting the direction of this to feel more like "A Sign of Affection". I guess what we're getting is a soapy mess that just happens to have some nice disabled representation. I'm not mad at it! So far, I really enjoyed it because the ultimate root of the drama is the main couple's insecurities about their ability to support the other, which has layers due to Itsuki's condition. I hope the rest of it doesn't go downhill.

This volume definitely expands on Ayugawa and Kawana's romance and also shows us more about Ayugawa's backstory. The ending was intense though and I'm starting the next volume today!

There are some upsetting things that Kawana's dad says about Ayugawa upon meeting him for the first time and learning that he is disabled.
