Yukiko is enjoying her new part time job but there’s something about her coworker, Kurisu, who is a very quiet person with a lot of fears.

Once again this series eaves in some insights about making accommodations so an employee can do their job. Just that little bit of help to ne independent and have a job that fulfills them. The manager’s little speech was on point: Everyone deserves the right to work and have a decent life.

When it comes to the rest of the cast, I admire Morio and Yukiko for being open and honest with their feelings. It’s important to listen to the person with the disability and Morio is such a sweetheart who’s doing his best. Just a pleasure to read. 4.5 out of 5.

Morio is having trouble expressing his feelings in ways other than words and is working up to his first kiss with Yukiko. Meanwhile Yukiko’s older sister, Izumi, is coming to terms that her sister is becoming more independent as well as confessing her feelings to Shishio.

This volume really focuses on Yukiko finding a job and the accommodations she needs to perform her duties at that job. Again, this manga does a great job at being informative as well as entertaining with a character that’s easy to root for. She’s determined and hardworking, making her journey really worth following. 5 out of 5.

Morio and Yukiko are getting along well and their relationship is growing. Yukiko would like her friend Sora, who is also visually impaired, to be friends with Morio but Sora is hesitant to accept him.

Yukiko’s friends and classmates are hilarious and some much needed levity as this volume gets dark. Sora is a runner and that fact is used to show how a visually impaired person goes for a run; both with a guide and without. Where it gets dark is someone is deliberately leaving things for her to trip over. When they find out who it is and why he’s doing it, it’s messed up. It went darker than I expected it to go. Trigger warning for abuse. 4 out of 5.

As Morio and Yukiko spend more time together, Morio’s close friend Tono becomes jealous of Yukiko, as she became close to Morio due to childhood bullying. Yukiko decides the two need to have a good conversation.

This is such a great series to get an adorable little romance along with some education; weaving in some information about how people with visual impairments navigate through life. I also enjoyed the side stories and the origin behind Morio’s scar (not to spoil it but, what the fuck, my guy…). I am really interested in the stories of the other characters now. This is overall very enjoyable. 5 out of 5.

Morio is the local delinquent and his reputation – as well as the scar on his face – make it hard for him to find a job. But when he meets Yukiko, a visually impaired girl who attends the local school for the blind, he instantly has more motivation to get his life together as Yukiko doesn’t judge him based on his appearance.

This story is told in these quick slice-of-life shorts and it’s really sweet how Morio just instantly melts the tough guy act the second Yukiko comes into his life. The tone of this is like a more upbeat and comedic version of Perfect World, telling a story while also informing the reader about how to help someone with impaired vision. 4 out of 5.
