God this manga is so damn cute and wholesome.
Basically Morio is still trying his best to impress Yukiko. So Yukiko finally admits to Morio that she's in love with him after Hachiko Tono, one of Morio followers, admits she is in love with Morio. This let's Yukiko spill her love and truth. Then we head into a new territories with Morio finding out more about his boss and the one who gave him a scare, and it's handled really well about fitting in with everyone else.
Overall extremely enjoyable, cute, and downright adorable all at once.

Yukiko and Kurokawa are getting pretty close, which raises the hackles of Hachiko, who saw Kurokawa first. A little girl talk goes a long way, then some boy talk, then a bus journey turns out to be a case of the visually impaired leading the visually impaired.
This is still charming, but I am starting to think that my statement about it not needing a second volume were more than a little correct (good thing it’s an ongoing). Or it just needs to tighten its focus because this volume is a little too on-the-nose with solving all of life’s problems.
It starts interestingly enough - I don’t love Hachiko’s crushing on Kurokawa, it’s a bit obvious as a plot device, but I did like the way it brings her mental health into the story. She doesn’t have an obvious disability the way that Yukiko does, and it touches on how hard it is for her to be seen compared, ironically, to Yukiko.
Now, that doesn’t mean she makes her point in the nicest way possible, she’s kind of brutal and awful, but it’s an interesting exploration of a different type of othering and their burgeoning girlfriend relationship is a fun development.
Had we gotten back to the actual point of the series at this stage, all might have been well. But then we have to explore the story of how Kurokawa got his scar and this tackles both issues with treating somebody unfairly because of poverty and then blends in homosexuality and homophobia for afters.
It’s not that I don’t think a story should address social issues, quite the reverse, but maybe not every single one in the span of a single volume. It’s a lot of heartfelt speechifying without a stop, minus a couple gags here and there.
I feel bad because the story makes good points, it really does, even great ones, but my brain cannot get over the way it’s all paced. I think that’s probably down to me, there’s a lot to love, but I didn’t need everything here in a single volume.
Later on, when Yukiko decides to take the bus to prove her love (it makes sense, honest), the story gets back to dealing with her issues and perceptions and it gets a lot better. The obvious happens, but it’s how the attempt is perceived that really matters and that’s pretty cute.
My thing here is that Yukiko’s condition has a lot less visibility in this literary space, pardon the expression, and it feels like it barely got tapped, so I don’t think going off on all these tangents works for the narrative. And I do think the ‘we can all get along if we talk it all out’ idea is a little naive for something that has, so far, normally trended pretty smart.
I guess if you like things very pat and idealized, and I read a lot of shojo so I can’t say I don’t, you’ll be happy with how things work out here. I just couldn’t get my head back into it with all the very important lessons being learned.
3.5 stars - it gets back to what was unique in the back half, certainly, but something about it was, well, it was too nice and I couldn’t engage with it nearly as well as the first volume.

Such a cute wholesome series

This was such a great follow-up. Yukiko admits her feelings for Kurokawa, and they become a little bit closer. I loved reading about Shishio and Kurokawa's past. We got more insight that Shishio was looking out for Kurokawa the whole time they were fighting. Shishio's backstory is written well, too. I loved how Uoyama brought up Shishio being gay and why it's ridiculous that a LGBTQ person has to 'prepare a speech' when telling someone who they are, when someone who isn't doesn't have to feel pressured by society and social norms. I love how the author brings up subtle and important things that most manga authors don't.
I will be picking up vol 3 asap!

This manga is just adorably sweet and informative at the same time. I am so glad I picked it up on a whim and I can’t wait to read the next volume!

MANNN I'm so sad because this was so close to being a perfect volume of manga for me but it disappointed me so hardcore in the middle. Most of this was still really great so I'll touch on the parts that I liked first.
I think the arc where Hachiko worked out her own internalized ableism was really cool and honest. I'm glad that Yukiko was both understanding and stern with her, and I'm happy that they made it out the other side with a newfound friendship. Overall I thought that arc was really sweet.
Now, I thought Shishio's arc was INCREDIBLY strong... up until the very last panel of the epilogue. :(
The story of how Morio got his scar was so incredibly touching. And I love that they turned a gag about how Shishio and Morio have been fighting for all these years into this real, really touching thing where actually Shishio was looking out for him all that time, and also building Morio's confidence in his ability to win.
I love Shishio's character and the way he really, really regrets that one moment of hurting Morio -- it shows what a great guy he is. And the reveal that he's gay was a really powerful one in my opinion. When Morio gave Shishio the rose as thanks for actually looking out for him, I was damn near in tears because it just was a really powerful moment.
The thing that really disappointed me was how, at the last minute, Shishio reveals in his inner thoughts that he started developing feelings for Morio sometime later in their relationship. This really shattered how hard-hitting that whole arc was for me. Put simply, there was no need to make Shishio's feelings for Morio romantic whatsoever. Shishio is so much older than him and clearly has been watching over him since he was in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL like a brother or dadlike figure. Nothing between them so far has ever been anything more than platonic. So when Shishio said that he had developed feelings for Morio, it came completely out of the blue and kind of cheapened everything for me. Not every single character in this needs to be in love with Morio. Especailly not like a 26? year old man?? Dude I'M 26 and I just can't buy that Shishio would ever have feelings for a kid like Morio.
It also really disappoints me as an aroace person when storytellers act like romance is the height of love when Shishio and Morio's brotherly bond on its own was so damn touching, and that was kind of the thing I loved most about the arc. Wasn't it Shishio himself who said in the last volume that friendship isn't below romance? I just feel bummed out about this angle the mangaka chose to take with him.
Unfortunately, that whole thing kind of put a bad taste in my mouth. I think it really disappointed me because Shishio's arc up until that point was REALLY amazingly strong. My disappointment in it not sticking the landing really hurt the whole experience for me.
I felt like we ended off on a good note, though. I did really like the arc where Yukiko goes on the bus. We've all had a moment of getting on the wrong bus/train so I really felt her struggle. Onward to the next!

Morio and Yukiko are on their way to being a super cute couple while the people around them... have mixed feelings about it.
Again, the format is a little wonky to me, BUT I will sing this series' praises for one simple fact: REPRESENTATION! Yeah, we got Yukiko who is visually impaired, but there's also Hachiko (social anxiety because of bullying) and Shishio (anger about society labelling him as wrong for being gay) and even Morio (low income family of just him and his granny). I'm curious to see exactly how diverse this cast of characters is going to get.
This series has 8 volumes.

To sum it up-- SOCIETY.
All jokes aside, how is this volume even better than the first?! I am in love with the development between Yukiko and Morio. They are honestly such couple goals. But, who really brought their A-game this volume were the side characters! They all felt so real and never felt overshadowed by the main couple. Especially Shisho who surprised me with how much I love him! (And, that random guy on the bus!) Seriously reading the third volume immediately!

It really is amazing the level of drama and deep emotional issues this book wants to cover. The series is not afraid to really dive into the true depth these characters possess and why their motivations. It's refreshing to see not shying away for issues or using them as some type of gap like I've seen in other manga.

Somehow this one managed to be just as cute and entertaining as the last one! It introduces some of the characters backstory, and had too many adorable moments for me to count. If you looking for something to make you laugh and smile, this is the manga for you. I read it at least 4 times already, and I just got it. 5/5

This volume surprised me, I felt like we got a lot of back story and some insight to the characters.
We got Yukiko POV in how she handles doing things on her own. Something as simple as going to the bathroom can be difficult or even riding a bus. Morio's scar is revealed, as in how he got that scar and I enjoyed reading about that.
I enjoyed volume 2 a lot more than vol 1.

❤️❤️❤️ fluffy and sweet with some lessons in between. We learn how Hanao became his follower/supporter/voice of reason. My hope for Izumi was crushed, but I’m sure someday she’ll end up with the muscles she deserves.
I think the author handles sensitive subjects well, and explains concepts to make it easy to understand.

Cute rom-com manga series. Its not mushy and lovey-dovey like you'd think. Each character has to overcome their pasts to move forward with their current relationship. Looking forward to more volumes.

Good volume with growth for the secondary characters and a glimpse into the difficulties Yukiko faces that a fully sighted person may not realize. Super cute series!

Loving all the issues that the series is tackling, as well as getting more depth and backstory to these characters. Still not a huge fan of how quickly the main characters feelings have developed for each other and how dramatic it comes off as but I’m definitely going to continue this series.
January 20, 2025
This was another fun volume and I am enjoying getting to know several of the characters better. It was also interesting to see how Morio and Shishio met and more of their history in this volume. I look forward to continuing this series and getting to know all the different characters better.
June 7, 2025
SO CUTE!!! I love how they portray disabilities and outcasts. Love how everyone are friends and love each other. along with the main girl being blind, this volume has a gay character (explicit) and autistic girl (implied). I hope the main guy just keeps collecting outcasts.
August 7, 2023
This was so much better than the first volume! It was nice seeing the story settle and focus on the characters a little more.
September 14, 2023
This volume just didn't have the same punch as the previous one.

This series is stupidly underrated imo.
