Its a more serious episode today as Bees, Azayan, and Summosa discuss their own disabilities and how various disabilities are represented in shoujo manga. Key works discussed are Perfect World, A Silent Voice, and A Sign of Affection. Is there enough representation of physical disabilities in shoujo? Is the representation quality? Why do we need this representation? Consider these critical questions and more with us through a shoujo lens.
