He llorado 3/4 capitulos y porque en el ultimo estaba delante de mis amigos y era algo menos emotivo, que sino también caía.

I really liked this, but there were some things in here that seemed a bit off to me. I don't know if it was just bad translation or not though.

This was still a really good start and I am pretty hooked.

Kawana is 26 and a budding interior designer whose company just partnered with an architectural firm. At a company mixer with the two groups, Kawana runs into her high school crush, Ayukawa. It isn’t until the end of the meal that Kawana discovers Ayukawa was in a severe crash and is now wheelchair-bound. She’s not sure if she could be in a relationship with a disabled person, but after hanging out more and catching up, Kawana’s old feelings start to bubble up. She cares deeply when Ayukawa has to go to the hospital for one of the many complications spinal-cord-injury patients have, and she gets upset with his defeatist attitude that he won’t live long anyway. He continuously pushes her away and tells her not to fall in love with him because of his many complications and potentially shortened lifespan, but Kawana's heart explains away all of those difficulties and falls for him anyway.

This reminded me a bit of Me Before a you but without the super problematic elements.

I am always looking out for inclusive manga to support and this does not disappoint! I was so touched by how Tsugumi went from honestly questioning whether she could fall in love with someone with a disability to falling in love with Itsuki and wanting to learn everything about him. Itsuki is also such a strong and three-dimensional character that you can't help but fall in love with as well. This manga series is well worth the read!

Wow. I did not expect to cry in this manga, and I did not expect to love it this much. This manga explores a serious subject with grace and harsh realities, and makes us love the characters right from the first few chapters. I am already so invested in both the characters and can't wait to see where the story goes. Worth the read.
