I already surmised this volume would be good when I started to read it (as volume 6 had ended on such a cliffhanger). Luckily, this volume didn’t let me down. I was very relieved because I was growing bored by the story line of the previous volumes. In contrast, this installment was quite thrilling with the tension of having to rescue Ayukawa and furthermore with the ramifications of the earthquake. I was literally racing through because I was so curious, excited and nervous. When things slowly settled, I loved the emotional moments and how the characters began to question themselves and their decisions. It was simply a very interesting read and I hope the next volume will be at least as good.
The end itself gives me high hopes and I’ll definitely pick up volume 8 as soon as I can!
Now I want to address exactly two problems I had with this installment:
1) Some of the conversations seemed forced and unnatural. I had this problem with a few scenes in the previous chapters but in this volume, to me, it felt even worse. One of the moments was when Nagasawa explained Kawana how dangerous the situation is for Ayukawa. I think this might be a problem with the translation but maybe it’s also caused by the placement, context and content of the speeches.
2) As in the previous volume, some difficulties which Ayukawa had to face because of his disability appeared over-dramatized and just too much “in the face”. I am aware, there are more problems and obstacles he has to get over but I don’t like how it’s always so very much in the center of attention while on the other side, I have problems to understand his reactions. I think, he should have been more tired after that long day in his wheelchair. I think, he should have been more troubled by the situation of being abandoned and helpless in the flat for hours. I think, he should not laugh everything off as if it’s okay. I know, this story isn’t told from his POV, so we can’t tell what truly is going on in his head...but I really think, Ayukawa’s emotional state should be considered as well. Not only his physical condition.

YES! FINALLY!!!!
Phew, this was the volume I needed and I'm so excited to see what happens next!
Also, her parents are so incredibly selfish and cruel. I love that the MC is started to question their opinions and is starting to think for herself more. I can definitely see that character growth. There's a scene where her dad just says to his wife, "What if those two end up hurting each other again?" and I immediately though: if ya'll weren't assholes the first time, maybe they wouldn't have hurt each other in the first place? I think it was in the last issue where she was finally starting to question her mom's comments about what "normal" meant.
I'm just happy she's finally growing a backbone.
Happy reading!

[ Re-read in 2024. ]
"There are some things you have to protect no matter what happens. And if you can keeps those things safe, maybe that’s all you need to tackle any challenges life throws at you."
After the earthquake, Tsugumi and her friend practically do everything in their power to get to Itsuki ‘cause he could literally die if no one help him escape from his shattered room.
When they get to him, tears and relief come from all parties involved and they quickly go to the hospital, where people are gathering to stay safe. Truth be told, he was passed out after screaming his lungs out, begging for help but no one came. An earthquake is no joke and for someone in a wheelchair is a far more risking event.
Itsuki and Tsugumi, though they’re not in a romantic relationship anymore, they still care for each other and share a beautiful, heartbreaking scene in the back of a van due to lack of mats.
Later on Tsugumi sees her young friend, the girl who used to date a guy her same age and she finds out they broke up yet remained friends. And perhaps this is the next step to Itsuki and Tsugumi herself. I mean, we clearly see they still love each other but maybe their relationship can only remain as platonic.
Don’t get me wrong, I want them all to be happy. Koreda truly cares for Tsgumi and I kinda hope she gives him a chance, but I also want Tsugumi and Itsuki to be happy in their own way. This volume ends with her being at Itsuki’s door so, what would she say to him?
This volume contains chapter 30 – 34.

VOLUMEN SIETE
Bueno aquí ya empezaron a pasar cosas que sentía que comenzaron a gustarme más, porque sentía que la historia ya estaba avanzando y no retrocediendo. Por fin vamos a tener más de ellos dos juntos, la neta ya hacia falta.

Amo que este manga siempre me ponga en perspectiva lo mucho que el mundo no está pensado para las personas con discapacidad. Hoy, un sismo; mañana, quién sabe. Llorando le doy gracias a Rie Aruga y le digo: otro tomo, por favor.

Hat mir wieder sehr gut gefallen! Ich mag die Entwicklung wieder und hoffe, dass sie diesmal auch so bleibt xD

Cada tomo rompe un poco más mi corazón.
Me gusta mucho la historia porque es muy realista y toca un tema que pocos están interesados en tocar.
La emergencia durante el terremoto pone a Tsugumi muy preocupada por Itsuki, y cuando finalmente lo encuentran se da cuenta del peligro para una persona discapacitada.
Cuando regresa a Tokio se entera de que Haruto y Maika han tomado caminos diferentes y parece que esto le ha dado una visión de su propia situación

I'm not sure how to feel about this volume. I just wish all of them realized their thoughts and feeling soon since they know they're not where they want or feel exactly happy/satisfied yet but they need time to figure things out for themselves and maybe be less stubborn, while here I am as a reader getting impatient lol.

Lo único bueno de este volumen fue el final. Siento que la historia está medio estancada y que no avanza, pero espero que el final de este volumen sea el turning point y por fin genere que los protagonistas hablen entre ellos y resuelvan todos sus mambos. Principalmente porque ya están comenzando a lastimar a otros terceros además de a ellos mismos.
3 de 5 estrellas.

I really cannot wait for this story to reach its conclusion, it feels like we've been going around in circle for ages. It's still good, just redundant.

J'ai attendu ce tome avec impatience, surtout après le final du sixième, qui m'avait laissée avec la peur au ventre quant à la suite. Je me suis jetée sur ce tome à sa sortie et n'en peux déjà plus d'attendre le prochain....
Suite aux événements de la fin du Tome 6, Ayukawa se retrouve dans une situation difficile. En effet, ce tome soulève un certain nombre de nouveaux problèmes liés aux personnes en situation de handicap, notamment en ce qui concerne les structures mises en place lors de catastrophes naturelles. Ces espaces de survie ne sont souvent pas adaptés pour des personnes en fauteuil roulant et montrent les grandes lacunes encore existantes dans ce domaine.
Ayukawa et Kawana sont, plus que jamais deux personnages forts qui apprennent à évoluer l'un sans l'autre tout en continuant à se cotoyer. Mais ils finiront malgré tout par se rapprocher à nouveau. Il faut dire que ce tome est très nostalgique et emplit de leurs souvenirs de lycée. D'autres questionnements voient le jour du côté de Koré-éda et Nagasawa, qui se trouvent loin de la situation que vivent les deux protagonistes principaux.
L'histoire et les personnages de Perfect World ne cessent de gagner toujours plus en maturité. De plus, ce tome nous offre un nouveau cliffhanger haut en couleurs : la mangaka est très douée pour ce genre de choses et laisse avec une certaine appréhension quant à ce qu'il va se produire dans le prochain tome. Cette série est un véritable régal !

It took me a few days but I finally finished this volume.
Tsugumi worries for Itsuki during the earthquake. When they make it to the shelter, there is only one bed left, but Itsuki gives it to an older woman, and is able to sleep in someone's van. Itsuki joins him where she draws something in a sketchbook that she finds in the van.
Tsugumi meets with Haruto and Maika once the earthquake is over and things have settled. The two have broken up and have new significant others, but are still close friends and have no regrets. This causes Tsugumi to think back to Itsuki and that she does have regrets. I don't think she has emotionally moved on. While the two are in different relationship, months after their relationship has ended, and the two seems to have moved on, I feel there is more that is not being said.
Let alone the time she spent in the van. She cant emotionally moved forward with her boyfriend because she still looks Itsuki.

Ce manga est vraiment un petit chef d'oeuvre. Il y a des moments où je ne me sent pas dans l'urgence d'enchaîner directement sur le suivant mais avec celui-ci, ça va être difficile d'attendre. Au fur et à mesure on s'attache sincèrement aux personnages principaux et leur alchimie fonctionne vraiment bien.
La question de son handicap, ainsi que celui de d'autres personnages, fait vraiment réfléchir et remettre nos petits gestes du quotidien en question. Il nous amène à un réelle réflexion sur les besoins et contraintes de chacun au sein de notre société et de comment réussir à intégrer tout le monde, malgré certaines situations ou handicap.
Merci Rie Aruga 🫶

Oh heck yeah, this one hit five stars for me! I don’t know if this has actually improved or if I’ve just adjusted my expectations, but either way this pulled me right along and felt very hard to put down.
Poor Tsugumi and Itsuki—by now you know that the author likes to throw everything but the kitchen sink into the path of their story, so why not an earthquake?!? That’s right! The primary conflict in this volume is an actual earthquake that not only nearly kills—somebody—but also acts as a catalyst for some big change.
On to the next one!

The aftermath of volume 6 really hit hard, I was biting my nails thinking about them alone together for an extended period of time… ohhh Haruto and Maika, I love them so much!! I’m glad they were able to realize their feelings and stay friends, this series has been really heartwarming if not a little frustrating.

In the aftermath of the quake Tsugumi has a hand in getting to Ayukama to check on him after not being able to reach him. This series keeps tearing at my heart-strings and I just reeeeeeeally hope that they both end up happy.

I feel like this series doesn't pull its punches when it comes to the important things! Love this story! Need physical prints in the US!

This was a very emotion-filled volume. I hope we're getting back on track now.

Honestly I read quite a few of these and haven't kept up with reviews so they've all blurred together. All I know is they got heavy on the love triangle trope which I hate. This is a very dramatic series and I think that's what draws me in but it's also VERY contrived.
I think in this one Tsugumi makes some new friends who are of course looking to build a barrier free house so she ends up reuniting with Ayukawa and working on the interior design of the house. I love the inclusion of the new couple though as a foil to Tsugumi and Ayukawa.

Dieser Band hat mir wieder besser gefallen, wenn auch Tsugumi und Itsuki nur einen Minischritt aufeinander zugemacht haben...Es geht jedoch in die richtige Richtung...
