I loved everything about this volume. When they held that baby for the first time? I lost it, I was sobbing. Ugh I am almost sad it is over after the next volume.

Toujours très contente de suivre les personnages et surtout dans ce tournant de vie ♡

Well, I randomly picked up the final two volumes in this series after marking it DNF because I couldn’t deal with the ridiculous love triangles (yes, plural). I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these last two volumes and seeing the characters happy (finally!!). I teared up at a couple parts and I honestly wish the rest of the series had been like this so I could buy the physical copies of the series. (I won’t be because I for reasons listed before, but I won’t say I wasn’t tempted to at least by these last two volumes.) I’m very familiar with adoptions from China and South Korea, but not at all familiar with Japan’s adoption process, so it was interesting to learn more about it and see adoption talked about in a serious, but positive manner.

Increíble como esta historia de mierda se las ingenia para hacerme llorar con CADA VOLUMEN.
4 de 5 estrellas.

VOLUMEN ONCE
¿Tanto les cuesta solo dejarlos ser felices y facilitarles algo? ¿No? ¿Qué así no funciona la vida? Pues mejor me leo la vida real, jajajaja no se crean. Es verdad todo lo que sufren los personajes y es un libro bien investigado y eso y me gustó. Pero sufrí mucho con ellos una vez más.

I can't believe we only have one volume left to go :'(

Doloroso e realistico questo volume. Mi piace che l'autrice abbia prestato tanta attenzione all'argomento e che abbia fatto trasparire la difficoltà di questo passo. Paure, rinunce, insicurezze... Mi auguro che ci sia un bel lieto fine per questi protagonisti coraggiosi. Quando si parla di adozione, tuttavia, a volte capita che i genitori naturali cambino idea. Speriamo di no. Penso che abbiano già superato parecchie prove.

Fidèle de la série depuis maintenant plus de quatre ans, je suis toujours ravie quand un nouveau tome de Perfect World est annoncé ! Celui-ci étant l’avant-dernier, j’ai savouré ma lecture.
Après plusieurs échecs de P.M.A., Itsuki et Tsugumi seraient en droit de baisser les bras. Mais ils sont décidés à tenter leur chance pour l’adoption même si le parcours est long est compliqué.
Le couple va multiplier les rendez-vous pour constituer un dossier en espérant que leur profil convienne. D’ailleurs Itsuki a peur que son handicap ne réduise leur chance d’être parents.
Un tome plein d’espoir pour des héros qui ont traversé de nombreuses épreuves ! J’espère que le dernier tome sera une parfaite conclusion à la série ! ♥

Oh, my heart.
I want nothing but the best for these two after having endured so much hardship and prejudice. One of the things I love about this manga is that it didn't just end where most mangas end. It continues after that marriage scene to give us an idea of the reality of what it might be like to want to create a family when one member is in a wheelchair.
I have the next volume but I'm sad to see this wonderful story come to an end! This volume, however, had some incredibly adorable little guest stars.
Happy reading!

Sono sempre stata abbastanza critica nei confronti di questo manga. Non ho gradito l'inutile drammone amoroso con cui l'autrice ha infarcito la prima parte di questa storia. Ma è altrettanto vero che gli ultimi tre volumi si sono rivelati davvero ottimi. Peccato non aver puntato su questo livello di qualità fin dall'inizio...
Comunque sia, come nel caso del volume precedente, anche qui Rie Aruga presenta delle tematiche delicate. Dopo il fallimento delle terapie, Tsugumi e Itsuki intraprendono la difficile strada dell'adozione plenaria. E anche qui, devono affrontare varie sfide: la questione del congedo parentale, le problematiche legate alla disabilità di Itsuki, la paura di non riuscire a creare un vero legame con una creatura che non hai cresciuto dentro di te per nove mesi, la paura di non essere all'altezza. Un percorso lungo che porterà la coppia a dover prendere delle decisioni importanti, sopratutto in ambito lavorativo. Un percorso difficile che però li porterà finalmente a tenere tra le braccia una nuova vita. Merita una menzione il notevole percorso intrapreso da Itsuki, che ha saputo contrastare la disperazione provata dopo l'incidente e dare una nuova direzione alla sua vita - prima da solo, poi al fianco di Tsugumi, e infine come padre.
Il volume si chiude con un capitolo dedicato a Koreeda, un altro che ha avuto diverse vicissitudini che l'hanno portato a fare un incontro molto particolare. Un altro incontro con il mondo della disabilità (vissuta in maniera consapevole e senza piangersi addosso) che potrebbe segnare un cambio in positivo per lui. Sembra che il suo periodo di isolamento dopo il due di picche si sia definitivamente concluso.
Bene, ora non ci resta che attendere pazientemente per l'uscita del dodicesimo e ultimo volume.

I was so touched that Itsuki will be doing Paternity leave!! He will be such a good fit for that. I agree that the trope was for Tsugumi to do maternity leave, so it makes me so happy it will be Itsuki!
They both are gonna be wonderful parents and seeing their interactions with children already touches my heart.
Tsugumi got her mom cut! It’s crazy to think how far we’ve come. Something so special to think that we saw them at 26 and now they have been married for years and are 33! They have grown into such a lovely couple and have endured so, so much.
When the birth mother said she was even happier that the adoptive father was disabled it touched my heart. Itsuki is just a wonderful man.
Both their faces seeing their son Koki was so precious. My heart just melted. I love them.
I’m glad it looks like Koreda is finally moving on with another girl! Not gonna lie, kinda sad it wasn’t Nagasawa. I totally thought they could become a thing. But the new girl just seems so sweet and I think it’s good she has a disability so Koreda can now understand disability does not get in the way of love. Yes, there are many more challenges, but it doesn’t effect your love for each other.
This manga has just touched my heart! As a disabled and ill person myself, seeing this gives me hope and excitement that maybe the LORD does have a husband for me! I relate to Itsuki a lot, especially in the beginning when he felt he never deserved love nor could find it being disabled.
I’m so sad I only have one more volume to read, however, in a few months I’m totally re-reading it again! This will probably be my comfort manga since I just love Itsuki and Tusgumi, and it being relatable for me personally.

J'ai enchainé le tome 9,10 et 11 ce week end, j'ai beaucoup aimé retrouver Itsuki et Tsugumi. Dans ces trois tome on les retrouve en pleine réflexion sur l'avenir de leur famille et leur besoin d'agrandir celle ci.
Apres plusieurs tentatives de fiv qui n'ont rien donnée, ils vont pendant un temps abandonner l'idée d'avoir un enfant. Et puis après une discussion avec des amis, ils vont finalement se lancer dans l'adoption. La ou ils ont cru que le handicap de Itsuki entacherait leur dossier, il n'en a rien était. A la fin de ce tome 11, ils ont enfant leur bebe Koki et une nouvelle aventure s'offre a eux.
J'ai hâte de pouvoir lire le dernier tome dans quelques temps.

El camino para poder convertirse en padres adoptivos es largo, con ciertas dificultades, pero para Itsuki y Tsugumi esto no es nada pues aceptémoslo han pasado por tantas cosas que me hace increíblemente feliz verlos cumplir su sueño de formar una familia, y la escena cuando conocen al bebé es tan linda, me hizo llorar.
Ame ver de nuevo a Koreda, la verdad es un personaje al que le tuve cariño y le deseaba felicidad, sé que si no fuera porque a Itsuki lo tenía en mi corazón, hubiese querido que terminara feliz con Tsugumi. Pero al final el también encontró su felicidad y eso me gusto.
En las palabras finales de la autora nos reveló dos cosas que la verdad me hubieran hecho muy feliz, pero entiendo el cambio en la historia y se agradece pero yo quería que su felicidad fuera total y que no sufrieran por más tiempo

This is probably my favorite volume so far, beside the first one. Things are looking up in this volume and I love how the author made Ayukawa said things about parental leave for man, how society tend to think it's women responsibility to care for a child eventhough it's supposed to be equal and how supportive his co worker of his decision, the same goes for their family & Kawana's coworker.

I am feeling done with this series, but since there is only one more I will probably read it.
Babies just really aren't my thing. I kind of dislike books that think happy endings require having children.

Wow. This series just hits you right in the heart. I cried reading this one. 😭 I can’t believe the next volume is the last one. I love these characters so much. I’m so happy that we got to catch up with Koreda and what he has been up to!

"Buscábamos a un niño con el que nos teníamos que encontrar"
Si antes lloraba por ver las dificultades que enfrentaba esta pareja, ahora lloro de felicidad por ver todo lo que han logrado.
Y es que nada ha sido fácil, y aún así, en cada obstáculo lograban afrontarlo con mucha convicción.
Estoy muy conmovida por el rumbo que ha ido tomando la historia y ahora estoy un poco triste de que esté a punto de terminar. Pero estoy segura de que lo disfrutaré mucho.

We have finally got a 5 star volume on the second to last book!
I really love that we are getting into the family. Yes, some of it is very emotional, but I loved it.

This was an interesting, fast-reading volume that centered around Itsuki and Tsugumi’s special adoption proceedings. Everything surrounding adoption in Japan feels very different from the USA, so this was fascinating to read about.
Their story has taken a very emotional new turn, but it’s all very sweet. Itsuki makes a decision that really shows what a fantastic partner he is.
Finally, we get a chapter about Koreda, who is dating a woman with a prosthetic leg. Spin off maybe?

Ya sólo queda un tomo, no me la creo, Kawana y Ayukawa han pasado por tanto y ahora al fin tienen la familia que por mucho han querido.
La intervención de Itsuki para ser él quien toma la licencia por paternidad me agradó porque tal cuál menciona se pensó que sería Kawana quién la tomaría no solo por ser mujer, sino porque a él no lo consideraron por tener una discapacidad.
Me conmovieron mucho las palabras de la joven madre.
Por otro lado, salió Koreda de nuevo y qué bueno que le vaya bien, siempre fue muy buen personaje.
Me gusta que se nota mucho la investigación que hizo la mangaka para esta historia, es algo que se aprecia.

Si cette série m'a attirée dans un premier temps c'est parce qu'elle aborde le handicap d'une personne en fauteuil roulant. Je ne savais pas trop à quoi m'attendre mais l'histoire m'a énormément plut, que ce soit le parcours des deux personnages principaux ou bien les différents parcours des personnes qu'ils rencontrent et avec lesquelles ils se lient et au travers desquelles l'on découvre d'autres facettes du handicap.
Quand on a lu beaucoup de shojo il y a des éléments récurrents que l'on retrouve (typiquement les trio ou quartet amoureux, les séparations/retrouvailles, l'opposition des familles...), celui-ci ne fait pas exception.
Pour le côté graphique, pas grand chose à dire si ce n'est que les dessins sont magnifiques même si j'avoue que j'aurais aimé voir d'avantage d'oeuvres de l'héroïne principale dont le dessin reste la passion.
