With The Light

This is volume 1....there are 3 volumes in this series. Don't let the size of the book fool you... it's a fast and fun read. This manga is awesome, I highly recommend it. In fact, I think this manga should be a staple when someone needs to learn about autism and aspergers. It is very realistic in every issue that people face with learning that someone they love has it.

I have read it and it is ok, but it makes me feel guilty (it is focused on the mother). It makes me feel like I am just a burden, like all people on the spectrum are.

I LOVE this series and I have volumes 1-2 and have preordered book 3 in at a local shop. ^^ I think it is awsome that there is a manga about autism. Hikaru-kun is cute -^^-.
