Synopsis

High school dropout Morio Kurokawa is an infamous delinquent known as "Morio the Black Panther," who has won many fights against others older than him. Walking through town with his posse, he comes across Yukiko Akaza, a girl with extremely poor vision due to a condition affecting her eyesight. Refusing to be intimidated by him, Yukiko encounters Morio time and time again, which causes him to fall deeply in love with her. Morio's urge to protect her grows every time they meet, and he begins to learn more about the hurdles Yukiko faces on a daily basis.

Girlfriend with an added element is probably a genre of its own at this point.

This is another one in my line of manga I began reading from a strange time. A cute story that doesn't do much to separate itself from the typical clichés of old times. Strange guy meets interesting girl, shenanigans ensue. However, the author was two steps ahead on this one. A story about a blind girl and a perceived delinquent can't just be carried about a will they / won't they. These are two different worlds, with clear problems on both sides, and the story doesn't try to ignore them. ... The story starts to head into real life much more than the usual romance deal, and it's delightful to find something like it.

Having a job while having a scar on your face, while being blind, the real life circumstances that come with those elements. Low wages, future opportunities, how to make a date captivating for somebody who can't see, how does a blind person move about in the world, work out? It asks the questions, and answers them with empathy, with love and care for the subject, and doesn't try to romanticize a disability for the sake of it. These are people with vastly different perspectives coming to terms with each other, and dating because they like slowly get to like each other. It goes beyond the simplicity of a relationship waiting to happen, and focuses on a world these characters might live in.

Not only are the protagonists great, but their friendships, and the hardships they experience because of whom the protagonists are. The main female lead's older sister being one of my favorite characters who's got a whole story for herself. The hardships of taking care of a sister who can't take complete care of herself for over a decade. The loneliness and lack of personal connections she sacrificed for something nobody asked of her. And characters being understanding of such situations feels so fresh and nuanced. Not all characters immediately enter conflicts, most resolve them because they communicate. It's just a nice level of positive realism.

I could keep praising for a while, but it isn't perfect. The art's pretty simple, repetitive, even if the story's enjoyable to go along with it. Some arcs drag, even if the message needs to be there, and others end too quickly to be as impactful as they could be. Specially the moments of unrequited love, and how to endure those relationships beyond the feelings they had. It's brushed aside for other little stories.

Overall, a good manga, with a great message and characters that aren't just cookie cutter tropes. Everybody has their life, aspirations, desires, problems, loves, rejections, experiences, and nobody exists for the sake of another. Sure, the manga uses the title as an interest piece, but it isn't all that's there. Beneath the superficial idea, there's a soul that I haven't found in all these kinds of romance manga.

7.3/10. A good, slice of life, with real life sprinkled in.

Preliminary (70/127 eps)

Yankee-kun to Hakujou Gaaru is one of those manga you check out in your relaxing times and smile occasionally at the wholesome events it puts together. I would consider this more of an impression than a review as forty chapters are not sufficient to form a complete review.

Story: This is basically the tale of a delinquent boy who, on one day meets a girl with blurry eyesight. The entire story revolves around their interactions, which are a delight to watch. Most of the chapters are crafted in a slice of life form, with some occasional drama and backstory (of both main characters and side characters) ...

I'm a complete sucker for sweet fluffy romance stories. This, however, is absolutely glorious in my opinion and trumps many others. It's light-hearted, hilarious, and just lovely.

The interaction between their characters is awesome, every time they are with each other is just like a refreshing breeze. They are fun, they are both no pushovers, adorable together but still not cringy. At the same time, they both have their own stories and past to explore, with him about his scary looks and scar, and her about her visual impairment.

There's really nothing negative I can say about it. The progression feels awesome, not hasty nor forceful ...
