After reuniting at a work party, Tsugumi begins dating Itsuki, her first crush from high school who now uses a wheelchair after having sustained a spinal cord injury.

And when complications send Itsuki to the hospital yet again, the two will have to look deep inside themselves to confront what this means for the future of their relationship...

Praise for Perfect World 3

"Depicts with great delicacy and courage the difficulties some with disabilities experience getting involved in romantic relationships... Rie Aruga refuses to romanticize, pushing her heroine to face the reality of disability. She invites her readers to the same tasks of empathy, knowledge and recognition." -Slate.fr

"An important entry [in the romance genre]... The emotional core of both plot and characters indicates thoughtfulness... [Aruga's] research is readily apparent in the text and artwork, making this feel like a real story." -Anime News Network
