TOWARDS THE FUTURE
 
After her breakup with Itsuki, Tsumugi leaves Tokyo for her childhood home in Matsumoto. She tries to look ahead in her relationship with Koreda and distance herself from her past relationship with Itsuki, but in spite of her best efforts, fate continues to bring the two of them together. While caring for her ailing father, Tsugumi meets Kaede, who uses a wheelchair, and Keigo, her boyfriend who wants to build her a barrier-free house. Itsuki seems like the perfect person for the job, but when he turns the offer down, can Tsugumi convince him otherwise?

Praise for Perfect World 5

"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
