Perfect World, Vol. 6
LINGERING FEELINGS
After Itsuki declines Keigo’s request for him to build a barrier-free home for his partner Kaede, Tsugumi heads to Tokyo to try to convince Itsuki to change his mind. Moved by Tsugumi’s sincerity, Itsuki agrees to take on the job—and what’s more, comes up with a solution that would allow Keigo and Kaede to achieve both of their dreams. But when the job has Tsugumi and Itsuki seeing more of each other, and has Tsugumi struggling with her lingering feeling for Itsuki, what will it mean for their relationships with Koreda and Nagasawa?

I would have given this volume around 2.5 stars but then the end happened and convinced me to continue reading this series. I’ll be honest here, the series started glorious and very promising but since Ayukawa and Kawana broke up, it’s kinda going downhill. It’s still cute and stuff and I still hope for them to get a Happy End but the point is, I don’t really see any development. And this only serves to reduce my interest to go on reading. Unfortunately.
Kaede and her boyfriend are in the center of attention and I’m certain, they’ll remain on this position for some more chapters. The problem is, I find their storyline a little bit over the top and I’m pretty sure, sooner or later Kaede’s death will be part of the plot. Of course, this is how life can turn out and we can’t ignore the complicated and sad sides of life but it just sometimes feels as if this series tries to compensate the lack of disabled protagonists (and people in wheelchairs) in any fictional story by giving us an overload of them. I mean, I’m in a wheelchair too but that doesn’t mean I know a ton of other disabled persons. Maybe it’s due to Ayukawa’s profession, I understand that. Still, the more chapters I read, the more over-presented and dramatized they seem.
Uff. This is hard. I seem to complain so much but I nonetheless don’t plan to drop this series because I have hope for things to entertain and touch me as much as they did at the beginning. Here’s to love.

literally the most exhausting shojo i've ever read; the cliffhanger at the end of this volume is what is keeping me going honestly

3/5 stars
Nothing is worse than seeing a series you enjoy steadily go downhill, and that's how I'm starting to feel about this series. The unnecessary drama is most of the plot now. Even though I dislike Koreda, I feel sorry for him a little because of how Kawana is handling things. Meanwhile, this volume included one of my least favorite tropes: miscommunication. On top of that, it's starting to look like there might be cheating or a rough break-up ahead.
Again, I have mixed feelings. I like how Kawana is working towards her dream. I also like that she's starting to realize that she's not over Ayukawa. I'll read the next volume to see how things go, but that might be the volume that makes or breaks this series for me.

to be honest I know Koreeda (my bad if I spelt his name wrong) is a good guy.... but I don’t like him.

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!
I continue to be obsessed with it!

En serio que esta historia solo me hace sufrir por los protagonistas
Tsugumi viaja con Kaigo para hablar con Istuki sobre el proyecto de la casa, y finalmente deciden hacerlo pues conociendo toda la historia Itsuki diseña un plan.
Mores ase entera del trabajo y aunque no está del todo convencido decide apoyar a Tsugumi en su sueño, ella promete no defraudarlo.

I really HATE Koreda, he is possessive, jealous, and so manipulative. He is toxic asf and I need him to leave immediately. Nagasawa is almost just as bad. And Kawana being so stupid and not seeing how toxic him and her family are is making me so angry. Ugh.
That cliffhanger though? Continuing for at least one more volume.

Este es un manga que estuvo muy bonito y desde que lo dejé así en el 5 quería continuar con la historia. Pero pasaron varias cosas que me desesperaron y sentía que solo estaban alargando más la historia, pero igual lo disfruté.

I confess that the ending saved me on this one because I think I was getting to a point where I really considered dropping this series. *hides*
I feel so bad saying that because I LOVED the first volume of this series so so so much! But it's been really hard seeing everything unfold the way it is right now. I think I just wish that Tsugumi would break up with Koreda for BOTH their sake. I feel it has been deeply unfair to him that he comes and meets her family, but that she is still continually thinking of Itsuki. I know that Tsugumi is not a perfect heroine and I don't expect her to be one, but it's hard for me to fully support her with the decisions she is making romantically.
On the flip side, I am LOVING seeing her thrive in pursuing her passion and how stubborn she was to get the position she was hoping for! While I do think she might have had some ulterior motive, I think it was mainly her wanting to do this job to help her friends' have the most happiness possible. They could still have that without her working on the job obviously, but I think there is a special touch there with her relating and helping this couple.
I LOVED the last chapter! It was SO nice seeing our leads together even if it wasn't in a romantic way. Tsugumi HAS come so far and I'm glad that Itsuki IS seeing that in her and openly saying so.
But that cliffhanger! :o :o :o I never expected that!
I'm going to give this series another volume and see how things go. It's definitely not a bad one, but it's hard seeing some of the struggles our leads have, and truly wanting them to reunite and have a relationship again (since neither is getting over the other). It's obvious they are not the same people they were when dating because both of them have grown and maybe that's something I need to keep in mind when moving forward...

Didn’t love this one - 2.5-3 stars. Just ready for the ending 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀unnecessary language (God’s name in vain) and just tired of the love triangles

[ Re-read in 2024. ]
"If I am stronger now, it’s because I met you. You’re the one who changed me."
You know? I’ve been reading this manga for several months now and I still think that Itsuki and Tsugumi deserve to be together. I think that despite their flaws and mistakes, they do belong to each other since they make themselves happy. But truth be told, the circumstances around them are not that simple.
They’ve met with other couples who have had the same issues and some of them have given them words of wisdom due their own experience: how love can come in many shapes and forms and how happiness isn’t just one way or another. No relationship is perfect but I strongly believe when two people want to be together, they can overcome their struggles.
This volume has shown us what it’s like to be apart from the person you love and still be happy for them even if you’re no longer together.
That’s exactly why I really like Koreda, who’s nothing but a nice guy who’s trying to win Tsugumi’s heart in his own way. He knows she’ll never love him like she does with Itsuki, but he’s trying –and that fucking hurts me too.
From the beginning, I’ve always thought this story has no useless drama and it’s actually talking about real issues between real people here.
Everybody just wants their happy ending, eh.
This volume contains chapter 25 – 29.

3,5 Sterne
Nach dem letzten Band, den ich doch etwas enttäuschend fand, war ich gespannt auf diesen. Alles in allem hat mir dieser Band wieder besser gefallen, allerdings finde ich es immer noch schade, dass sich die Geschichte im Kreis dreht. Tsugumi, die sich versucht einzureden, dass sie mit Hirotaka glücklich ist, obwohl sie sich in meinen Augen nur was vormacht, um es u.a. ihren Eltern recht zu machen. Itsuki stürzt sich total in die Arbeit und redet sich ein, dass es richtig war sich von Tsugumi zu trennen. Seine Beweggründe kann ich ja auch verstehen, aber so viele Pärchen um ihn herum haben es auch geschafft und könnten eigentlich als Vorbild dienen. Stattdessen sind beide unglücklich.
Und daran ändert sich auch irgendwie nichts....Ich hoffe jedoch, dass sich das in Band 7 ändern wird, denn auf den letzten Seiten gab es eine (richtig fiese) Wendung, die die Geschichte in eine andere Richtung lenken könnte und die mich gespannt zurück lässt.

"No existe una sola forma de ser feliz"
Quisiera que el mundo fuera un poquito más fácil y las cosas terminarán bien.
No puedo imaginar lo difícil que es tener el corazón roto y tener fingir con una sonrisa que todo está bien cuando te encuentras con la persona que amas y de la cual tuviste que alejarte.
Tsugumi e Itsuki deben afrontar su separación con madurez. Aunque sinceramente quiero verlo como ese pequeño detalle positivo que necesitan para extrañarse y darse cuenta que pueden ser felices... 🤧
Es que en serio necesito que esos dos vuelvan a estar juntos, ya sufrieron demasiado.

Reading is manga is a mix of “this is so good,” and “ugh I’m so frustrated.” I want to root for these two, but they’re surrounded by such selfish people who make the MC feel like she’s being selfish.
The story is great and I sometimes feel like I’m watching a jdrama. I hate the nurse and this other dude, and I hate how the MC thinks she’s being selfish.
I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY. Lol okay, emotions done.
Happy reading!

Ríe Aruga deja a tus personajes ser felices y déjame ser feliz también.
Es que, ahhhh, por qué me das ese final para este volumen, este circo del llanto no se detiene porque además me dices el pasado de Koreda como si nada hahaha. Ayyyy. Al menos la pareja ya casi ve construida su casita :(

They're so miserable and just hiding it.
Why's everyone ignoring it? Because there's no way they can't see it.

4.5 rounded UP ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 because FARG IT—I’m all in on the melodrama now. It’s like 1990, baby, and I want to see what becomes of Brandon and Brenda. It’s like 1978 and who’s frustrating Bobby now?
Are you satisfied? I’m sucked in! It’s all Love Boat all the time! We don’t need subtlety. I can hear the theme music in my head. The strings are swelling!
Anyway, there is some good stuff going on here amidst the angst. I think some time apart for our protagonists was good for the overarching story.
I do believe a future vision may be taking shape…

Una història d'amor hetero plena de drama, anades i vingudes i amb un protagonista que va amb cadira de rodes per culpa d'un accident. Trobo que és una sèrie que retrata molt bé les lesions medul·lars i totes les possibles afectacions en la vida diària així com el repte que suposa tenir parella quan es pateix una discapacitat en el context de la societat japonesa. M'ha sorprès (i molestat força, la veritat) com l'entorn de la parella principal es creu en el dret d'intervenir i jutjar-los. A la trama té massa protagonisme la família i els "enemics/rivals", s'estira massa el xiclet i hi ha aspectes de la parella que es podrien haver aprofundit més. Com a punt a millorar, em sembla que la història és massa vainilla i que el tema de la sexualitat només es toca de puntetes. En general, una història d'amor diferent i refrescant, però amb un ritme irregular.

sigue sin agradarme nagasawa y koreda; siento que deberían entender que solo retrasan e impiden la felicidad de los protagonistas (por muy tonto que suene… es que en serio quiero que itsuki y tsugumi sean felices AAAAA)

Not sure if I can keep reading. you know why and how of the story, but at the same time, it's all making me so damn depressed.

I feel like nothing much happened in this one. A lot of filler. Very slow pacing. Great cliffhanger at the end but...

This book came across as 90% filler. I had to push through this volume because it was so slow. I'm hoping the next volume will be better.
