Perfect World, Tome 9 (Perfect World, #9) Reviews
-
I admire and respect this manga so much, but I still never really felt a sense of passion between the main characters. The exploration of disability is wonderful; however, for me, the romance is not anything special. But I will definitely be picking up the physical volumes when they start coming out because I want to support this series and the creator as much as I can.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. SO MUCH HAPPINESS. MY HEART😍😍😍 I got emotional!

[ Re-read in 2024. ]
"I don’t think hard times have to mean that your whole life is over. Despite how hard things might get, I just feel so happy walking with you like this, dad. You know what I think makes a person happy? The people they meet. [...] I’m just glad I was lucky enough to be your daughter, dad."
Wow. Talk about a rollercoaster of emotions.
At the beginning of the volume, Tsugumi and Itsuki are still struggling to have her father’s blessing and now that he’s dying from sickness, she remembered the sweet, meaningful times she had with him.
As a daddy’s girl, I fully understand where they both are coming from and how her dad just wants her happiness. I believe he was a great dad, always taking care of his family in any way he could. But now he has to understand that Tsugumi is happy when she’s with Itsuki, and though they will find hardships along the way, it would be nice to have his blessing.
Finally, the old man sees that they truly love each other and expects to see her in her wedding dress, which was what I wanted from the beginning because they bring the best in each other. I wanted them to be happy and when Itsuki proposes to Tsugumi is the sweetest thing ever! I laughed through tears.
I was crying non-stop with this volume, for real. I was scared that her dad would die or that Kaede might die too, before attending to Tsugumi and Itsuki’s wedding. Fortunately everything was absolutely perfect! I mean it! They both look beautiful together. Tsugumi was a lovely bride and Itsuki such a handsome groom I was crying my heart out, but they were tears of happiness.
I cannot believe all the things that had happened up until now and it was so refreshing to see them fully embrace this new chapter in their lives. I’m glad I’m collecting the series and though it makes me cry like no one else, I love them so much. 5 stars is not enough to tell you how much they mean to me.
This volume contains chapter 40 – 44.

VOLUMEN NUEVE
Comenzaron a pasar cosas que repito vuelven a estas empujando la historia a que ellos vuelvan a estar juntos, pero a Rie (la autora) les gusta seguirlos torturando y no dejarlos ser felices y eso me desespera, pero al mismo tiempo lo entiendo, porque: la vida es así. -
Never will I be the same

Finally, good things happened to them. Glad to see them finally happy again, it feels like it's been a long time since the last time I saw them happy.
-
Yes! This couple! I love them and I’ve been waiting for the events of this volume to happen—especially the growth between the female MC and her dad. (Although I hate how she calls herself selfish because I’m sorry…deciding to be with a man in a wheelchair does NOT make you selfish…wtf?)
Anyway, this is a great series and I can’t wait for the next instalment! Also, I just saw that there is a movie? And a drama?!? Excuse me?!?!? *adds to to-watch list.*
Happy reading! -
*Happy dance* this one made me very happy because we’re finally starting to make more progress in an overall positive direction. While this series has always been gripping, it is now also very sweet and is starting to reduce the level of angst. I’m looking forward to the next one.

I did not think it was possible for this manga to make my heart swell any more than it already had. And then volume 9 happened. No spoilers for the ending but, fans, be prepared to cheer and have a goofy grin on your face!

FAVORITE volume by FAR!
Just so so much in this volume!
Tsugumi’s father giving them the blessing for their marriage after Itsuki’s very persistent meeting with him.
When itsuki was there for Tsugami in her insane time of need. It just touches my heart so so much.
The proposal made my heart skip beats. Something about the simplicity of it and heartfelt conversation of Itsuki wanting to do as much as he can for Tsugumi, but recognizing that he needs her help. And when he grabbed her hand and slipped the ring on! It was just the most special thing. You don’t see proposals with them at the same level, so it just made it so special!
The wedding was just beautiful and was so glad that her father didn’t pass before then!
Just an all around amazing volume! I know a lot of trials are headed for them, so this wholesomeness was so beautiful 🥹🥹 -
While I felt like it once again got v dramatic, I enjoyed this volume more than I have previous ones, and am glad our main characters stood in their conviction in staying together, and I can't wait to read the next two volumes!

Sufrí mucho con lo del papá de Tsugumi, pensé que no se podría cerrar la brecha que se había hecho, pero al final todo salió bien y ese final de tomo fue maravilloso

“Do you think I have any right to love anyone? Any right to be loved in return? Has my disability taken all my freedoms away from me?” Itsuki Ayakawa in Vol.9
I keep returning to Ituski’s very real and heartbreaking fear: Am I, a disabled person, worthy of love despite the fear of becoming a burden?
Seeing Itsuki, who in the first few volumes answers this question of worthiness with a resounding no, fight for his yes brought me to tears (this series does that a lot). His steadfastness and drive to love Tsugumi and fight for her father’s blessing felt like choosing to live fully in his capacity to love and dream. By earning her father’s blessing by being his authentic and caring self, Itsuki hurdled over the barrier of disapproval from Tsugumi’s father’s own ableism. This volume meant so much to me - to see Itsuki and Tsugumi married under the cherry blossoms that meant so much to them, my goodness, my heart!
While there are three other volumes left in the series, from the beautiful but realistic depictions of different disabilities from various points of view, the cruelty of ableism (external and internal), and the bittersweetness of new beginnings, this is a manga series worth reading. It’s an emotional roller coaster but worth the ride (especially if you love drama - think K-Drama level of drama). Characters who I despised initially, including one of the protagonists, Tsugumi, are well-fleshed out, redeemable, human, and lovable through multiple volumes. Tropes I usually loathe in romance, like love triangles and miscommunication, were compelling. The art and research have been brilliant, even when drawing painful realities like bedsores. Aruga is phenomenal for unflinchingly depicting multiple realities of disability. What makes Aruga more commendable in my book is that Itsuki, my favorite male lead in a romance manga, doesn’t feel objectified or infantilized because of his disability. His character is given equal standing through his point of view throughout the series thus far.
It makes me sad that I only have 3 volumes left. -
It was painful yet wonderful to see Tsugumi’s father finally give the pair his blesssing. After all of the pain, sweat and tears, they’re finally together and all is well for their world. It was adorable to see Tsugumi and Itsuki’s wedding as well as seeing all of their friends and family celebrate their love. It was also kinda cute to see Koreda and Nagasawa have been spending some time together over drinks.
I’m also very glad that this isn’t the end and there will be more volumes to come after this. I’m very curious and excited for Tsugumi and Itsuki’s future as husband and wife. -
Tsugumi's ill father projects his insecurities about being a burden on his family onto Itsuki, and wants better for his daughter. It's upsetting and a bit too drawn out, but the series does end in a satisfying way. This is the last volume, and I liked Perfect World overall, but I wish there was just a bit more joy or humour now and then. The romance is really sweet but the narrative gets bogged down in problems, and the payoffs weren't always enough to cleanse my palette of the depressing stuff.

Si una historia tiene la habilidad de hacerme llorar incluso cuando estoy en el colectivo, entonces no se merece menos de 5 estrellas. Este volumen fue hermoso de atrás para adelante. Igual… me preocupa que estén todos tan felices porque todavía faltan 3 volúmenes más like 🧍🏻♀️ ojo autora eh
4.5 de 5 estrellas. -
Volume ad alto tasso emotivo, che segna un punto di svolta decisivo nel rapporto tra Tsugumi e Itsuki. Ma prima c'è da superare la ferma opposizione del padre della ragazza all'unione tra i due giovani, preoccupato dal fatto che una simile storia potrebbe regalare alla figlia un futuro fatto di sofferenza e preoccupazioni (le stesse con cui si trovano a convivere lui e, soprattutto, sua moglie, dall'inizio della malattia). Nel tentativo di appianare queste incomprensioni, Itsuki farà visita ogni giorno al signor Kawana nella speranza di spiegargli al meglio i suoi sentimenti e il suo desiderio di prendersi cura di Tsugumi. Ma non sembrano esserci passi avanti e il rapporto padre-figlia si fa più complicato, almeno fino a un peggioramento preoccupante delle condizioni di salute del genitore. E in quel momento in cui tutto sembra finito, lui si ritrova davanti agli occhi la prova ultima dell'affetto sincero che lega i due ragazzi e così decide di dare la sua approvazione.
Approvazione che porta dritti dritti a una proposta di matrimonio: ora sarà interessante vedere come Tsugumi e Itsuki si troveranno a vivere la loro quotidianità e ad affrontare le sfide di tutti i giorni, da quelle più piccole e banali fino a quelle più grandi e complicate, quali saranno i piani per il futuro.
Bonus apparizione per i due friendzonati che hanno preso il due di picche meglio del previsto e che ormai sono diventati pure compagne di bevute, meglio di niente! -
After reading the previous volume, I’ll admit I was disappointed in Kawana with this whole love triangle, don’t mind me, I just have a soft spot for the second make lead lol. I’m not a fan of Nagawa-San, but I understand where she’s coming from. It was nice to see her finally get taste of reality and face the truth of her situation. I was left impatiently waiting for volume 9 to know what goes down between Ayukawa and Kawana’s dad! It’s just so refreshing to read a manga where the couple faces real world problems and actually works towards a conclusion with closure.
Now that the wait is over volume 9 left me so happy for Kawana and Ayukawa. Kawana’s dad finally opened up and shared his true feelings this volume and I can understand where he is coming from more. Before I just took him to be a stubborn father who was being unreasonable.
It was nice to see him and Ayukawa have a moment together. With the events in this volume I believe it truly brought our lovebirds closer, and to understand one another more. Perhaps even the whole family.
Even Nagasawa has come around and matured this volume, so proud of her for coming to the realization that she needed to let things be. This was such a good volume, it filled me with sadness, joy, and happiness all in one. -
I know there’s a two (?) more instalments coming up, but this book could’ve ended the series and I would’ve been so perfectly ok with it.
This ninth instalment has been such a beautiful, teary and joyful ride. We had finally gotten rid of the whole love triangle and being with a partner that isn’t really the endgame and then we had encountered the resistance form the dad.
Coming from an Asian family that’s has many traditional views and customs, I can easily see why the dad was so adamant about them not being together. No matter how much I love my culture, I can see the flaws in it and prejudice against others is one of the biggest ones. However, the father had such an amazing character development which I was expecting, but still felt very nice to see.
I don’t know what the next instalments are gonna bring to the story or where we’re gonna be led to, but I’m so happy this story exists.
I, myself, didn’t know much about disabilities and living life in a wheelchair, but Rie was able bring so much reality to a story that could’ve been so easily romanticized. -
Avis intégralité :
Un manga super intéressant les comportements des personnage collent à une réalité pas de sur jeu pas de comédie juste du réel quand revoir son amour de jeunesse réveille la flamme qui était en vous mais que découvrir qu’il est en fauteuil remet forcement vos sentiments en doute.
Ce qui est intéressant c’est que on va rencontrer un couple plus âgé ( de l’age de leur parents) ou la aussi l’un d’eux est en fauteuil ce qui permet à notre duo d’avoir une vision de leur relation dans l’avenir car un couple avec un en fauteuil ne sera pas du tout la meme aventure que avec 2 personnes valides. Puis on rencontrera un jeune couple d’étudiants donc cela nous montre aussi la version jeunesse . bref un manga très bien développé.
Le seul gros défaut du manga c’est que l’on a pas de notion de temps alors que nous suivons leur vie sur envions 9 ans. -
Overall (vol. 1-9) thoughts:
I prefer light-hearted mangas, and while this series has its happier moments, it’s also very real with the discussions and events that take place. It’s heart wrenching at times, frustrating at others, and I just want them to be happy. *sniffs* This series has given me a lot to think about (mainly volumes 1,2 & 9), but I don’t know if I’ll be continuing with any more future releases, I think vol. 9 ended it well enough for me.
(Thought on this volume: The happiest volume.)
3 stars.
Content for this Volume-
Going to a temple & praying; Two forms of 'd*mn', a 'God', a 'sucker', a 'where the hell'; Death is a common topic in this series; Mentions of pain & injuries; A few mentions of alcohol & drinking; A mention of a divorce; Mentions of crushes, dating, dates, girlfriends/boyfriends, & breakups. -
Inizia a sentirsi che la fine è vicina, e un po' ne sono contenta, perché da qualche volume la trama girava su se stessa tipo cane che si morde la coda. Poi io ai personaggi ormai ci sono affezionata e sono contenta di vedere la storia che prosegue, allo stesso tempo però si vede che ormai è ora di chiudere. La sottotrama col padre la trovavo ridicola sin dall'inizio, ma purtroppo è anche vero che, non essendo io giapponese penso di non avere gli strumenti culturali per comprendere le paranoie di Tsugumi e Ayukawa. Il cambio di decisione è apprezzabile, ma per come il volume era iniziato l'ho trovato fin troppo repentino e anche un po' meh, per i miei gusti. Roba che mi ha lasciato freddina, insomma. Cosa che invece non posso dire per la parte riguardante il sogno: breve, ma che allo stesso tempo si prende il giusto spazio. Da lacrime proprio.

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.

They finally got engaged & married (in the same volume!!!) so someone tell me why I was still so bored?? Honestly I love the honest exploration of illness and disability in this series but considering it’s also a romance there’s a surprising lack of chemistry between the main couple!
