We're finally getting to a place in the story that I want to be at...but there's still just so many hardships lmao. Can the next volume just be happier please?! At least for just a moment?

FINALLY! But I hate her parents so much. Her dad is rude asf and manipulative. I am honestly surprised she is such a sweet girl living in that house. But I digress, because I am happy and toxic parents will not ruin this moment 😂

J'ai lu en l'espace de quelques jours, les nuits premiers tome de ce manga.
Je suis novice dans les mangas, je me suis lancée à l'aveugle avec ce manga ci trouvé a la médiathèque de chez moi. Et mon Dieu, je n'ai pas regretté alors peut être que d'ici quelques temps a force d'en avoir lu je ne dirais plus ca, mais j'ai adoré l'histoire des deux protagonistes.
La manière dont on traite le handicap et sa place au sein d'un couple, et dans la vie quotidienne. j'ai trouvé cela très juste et bien amenée. Je me suis retrouvée prise d'amour pour ce couple et à chaque difficulté au sein de leur couple m'a mis mal à leur place.
La série compte encore quelques tomes que je vais essayer de me procurer bientôt pour donner mon avis plus en profondeur.

Más sufrimiento 😭
Sufro por Koreda, quiero que sea feliz, y en serio se me rompió el corazón pero aún así lo admiro porque a pesar de todo ama tanto a Kawana que busca la felicidad de ella por encima de la propia...lo único que no me gusto es que no hablara ella con él directamente.
Entiendo a la familia de Kawana, pero la verdad siento que están cegados a una vida normal, cuando seamos sinceros, eso no existe siempre habrá dificultades aunque sean pequeñas pero creo eso es lo que nos hace fuertes

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 particular volume healed my heart in a way I didn't realize I needed. I am looking forward to the next volume.

Esta serie me tiene sufriendo, ahhhh.
En este tomo se da la necesaria plática con Koreda y, si bien creo que debió ser en persona, me gusta que este man siempre vio por la felicidad de Kawana.
La enfermera sigue sin caerme bien porque no solo quiere imponerle sus sentimientos a Ayukawa, también se niega a escuchar lo que otros quieren decirle si no es lo que quiere oír.
Mis muchachos Kawana y Ayukawa no merecen la opinión juzgona de gente rancia, sino la felicidad, al igual que la otra parejita que celebró su boda y es feliz junta. Ellos son todo lo que están bien en el mundo.

Finally, some growth and maturity!!! It's still dramatic and messy, but it was a better volume in the series.

La motivazione per la quale non sto riuscendo ad apprezzare come dovrei quest'opera è la partenza della storia d'amore. La disabilità è illustrata nel modo giusto, cruda quanto basta per far ragionare il lettore ma mai manchevole di speranza. Ciò che fa crollare la mia fiducia nel testo è l'approccio ingenuo della protagonista. In breve tempo i due personaggi sembrano travolti da un grande amore, di quelli che sconfiggono tutte le avversità, e fin qui il racconto incontra appieno i miei gusti. Tuttavia, Kawana si mostra pronta ad affrontare ogni cosa troppo presto. Dico "troppo" perché all'inizio, ma anche dopo, la paura e il senso di inadeguatezza sono la prassi in una situazione del genere; invece lei nel terzo volume si offre già di aiutarlo con un'operazione molto intima, troppo per la giovinezza del loro rapporto. C'è da considerare che in quell'occasione può aver reagito d'istinto perché non voleva essere da meno dell'infermiera, ma ciò che ho percepito io è una sorta di desiderio dell'autrice a non far provare paura alla protagonista nei confronti di situazioni tanto difficili. Tuttavia, non trovo che ci sia nulla di male nel provare paura di fronte a qualcosa che non si sa come affrontare, trovo più falso non averne. La paura fa parte della natura umana e spesso è la molla che ci spinge a uscire dalla gabbia per smettere di essere schiavi. Avrei preferito una protagonista spaventata ma tenace, piuttosto di una che annulla anche se stessa per una persona che, a conti fatti, è ancora estranea. Un comportamento del genere fa pensare alla classica "sindrome da crocerossina" e quindi non è più solo amore, ma una sorta di atteggiamento maniacale. La mia analisi è troppo realistica? Beh, per me ogni opera deve avere una base di realtà, altrimenti il castello crolla e la storia non è credibile.

It starts to feel a little lighter eventhough the struggle is still very much apparent but with the lack of appearance/intervention from Koreda & Nagasawa it feels like there's more room to breathe. Both of them also feels a little more stronger to take on the struggles that coming their way so they can enjoy their time together, unlike before where one or both of them can fold fast enough when some intervention come their way.

Alright! We finally are ditching the annoyances I had with the series and moving on. I am fine with the challenges our couple has to deal with now that they are workng through them together. Very excited to move forward.

For this being a more romantic manga, all the issues they keep having don't make it feel romantic.
I would say this is more a contemporary drama. That's not to say that it's bad. I do love the main characters, but I was hoping for more.

Welp…all the feels for this one. It looks like a life together is finally on the horizon for Itsuki and Tsugumi.
It’s about time!

FINALLY
I want to write an actual review for volume 8 because I loved it so much!
I’m so so glad that finally both Kawana and Ayukawa told the truth to themselves that they never stopped loving each other, this so they could say it to each other.
Both Kawana and Ayukawa have matured a lot and we’ve seen it in the past few mangas.
Kawana had so much growth in really pushing for what she wants in a healthy way. Like when she went back to Ayukawa many times to be the interior designer. She also still very much cares for him and saved his life. The level 5 earthquake stuff was intense and very much pushed along the story. And at the end of volume 7, she went to his house because she could not live with regrets anymore. She told the truth to herself finally that she love’s Ayukawa still this whole time apart.
In volume 8 specifically, I LOVED Ayukawa. Man, even though he still struggles a ton with feeling like a burden and not good enough for Kawana, he is finally acknowledging himself. I hope he sees eventually how much of a leader and a man he’s truly been in this relationship! He did the hard work for Kawana by having a man-to-man, heart-to-heart conversation with Koreda. Ayukawa is such a mature guy and I hope he’ll be able to recognize how much he truly offers to the relationship. Also, he was the one to say out loud that he still loves Kawana. It was so touching since Kawana was the one who took the first step to see him again, but Ayukawa reciprocated the feelings.
This volume also had a ton of backstory on his accident as well as Nagasawa. She really grew on me! It’s an unpopular opinion, but I don’t like Koreda. He’s to pushy. But, I’m sure he’ll be a fine man for someone else. Anyways, Nagasawa really grew on me and I loved seeing how much she impacted Ayukawa’s life. And love his mature and he is to recognize her and tell Nagasawa that she saved his life and she’s really important. He just doesn’t reciprocate those feelings.
I literally ADORE the young couple, Kaede and Keigo, they just are very heartwarming. So glad their house construction survived the earthquake. I was so touched they had their wedding now so that Kaede can have happy memories in the midst of such hardship.
Near the end when Kawana told Ayukawa that no matter who’s against them, she’ll always love Ayukawa. And when he said, “your dad is against us isn’t he?” And held her tight as she was sobbing, my heart melted. Such a touching moment.
Once again on Ayukawa’s growth and maturity, I loved the ending on how we see he went to Kawana’s dad and is going to talk to him in volume 9.
I really enjoyed this volume a lot! 🤍 It makes all the painful, drama, and annoying volumes worth it.

[ Re-read in 2024. ]
"I have no regrets. How could I? I had someone I loved with all my heart."
Itsuki and Tsugumi finally talk to each other about their regrets and how they didn’t stop loving each other. Itsuki talked about his accident and how everything fall apart after that, how much he struggled to get back on the horse and how, ultimately, wants to spend his life with her by his side, even if they’ll find more hardships due to the circumstances.
With that being said, Koreda and Itsuki have a man to man talk, and though the guy always meant well, he just couldn’t be loved by Tsugumi the way he wanted. He was no match against Itsuki, and either way, they both want to make Tsugumi happy.
Itsuki also has to deal with Nagasawa but she refuses to listen to what he wants to say ‘cause that will mean they’ll break up. After that, Itsuki has to go to the hospital and that’s when we see a bit of their past together, how she actually helped him recover as his nurse, in his rehab. But, just like Tsugumi with Koreda, he couldn’t love her the way she wanted.
By the end of the volume we see the lovely wedding of Kaede and Keigo, which are one of the sweetest couples ever. Their new place is perfect for her condition as well as the upcoming restaurant. They both want to spend the time they have together and just like them, Tsugumi and Itsuki are well aware of the hardships they’ll eventually face too.
Throughout the whole series we’ve seen a lot of people wanting them to be apart but, to be honest, they make each other the happiest. Their love is real and they fully understand what means to be together. I’ve been rooting for their happiness from the very beginning and I’m expecting they’ll somehow find a way to remain together without people’s expectations to weight them down.
Last but not least, I would have liked to see Tsugumi actually talking to Koreda since he was a real nice guy and deserved better but well, I guess we just couldn’t ask for too much.
This volume contains chapter 35 – 39.

"As long as I have you, my world is perfect..."
Another sweet but heartbreaking volume. Here we see Itsuki and Kawana reignite their love for each other by honestly telling each other how much they love and miss each other after the breakup. However, this leaves both Koreda and Nagasawa with broken hearts and a love they can never have with either Itsuki or Kawana.
I honestly fell back in love with the series after reading this volume. It broke my heart to read the confessions from each person especially Koreda's to Kawana. However, I'm glad to see everyone finally being truthful with one another no matter how hard it is to face their truth. I'm also happy to have read Nagasawa's reaction and memories of taking care of Itsuki from the beginning. It was refreshing to see how their relationship formed in the past and see how the author paid homage to real healthcare workers making a difference in patients' lives everyday. Lastly, I hope Kawana's father recovers and he finally accepts that Itsuki is the right match for his daughter.

Despite my frustration with some of the previous volumes, I do love this couple. There are plenty of sweet scenes in vol. 8, but the promise of more melodrama to come makes me a bit concerned how the series will end; Tsugumi's father disapproving of Itsuki just seems cruel after all they've been through!
