do you ever read something that neither good or bad but just a little bit strange that you can't put it down? that's how i feel about perfect world.

the story is crafted with great care to tell a story about an abled woman falling in love and pursuing a relationship with a disabled man, the mangaka has good intentions and is being very careful. that being said, i think the story has 2 main default (which might resolve themselves as the story continue), the 1st being : the story is a little bit too informative and at times, it feel more like the author is more preoccupied with informing you about what a disabled person & wheelchair user go through (which isn't a bad thing!)  rather being preoccupied with telling a story including those theme.

2nd default : the heroine is weird. she's good-willed, she's a good person who want to do good. in volume 1, she's mostly transparent, in volume 2, a large chunk of her personality revolve around her wondering if she's worthy enough to be the romantic partner of a disabled person, which is okay but it end up being about how she feel rather than how her partner' feel.

other than that, it's a good manga a little bit strange in its storytelling, i would recommend.
