While trying to create a place in society for her autistic son, Hikaru, has been an uphill battle, Sachiko Azuma has long known that perhaps the toughest place to find acceptance for him is within her own family. Despite some progress made, Sachiko's mother-in-law still treats her grandson as a nuisance and sees him in many ways as inferior to his little sister, Kanon. Now that the Azuma family has moved into Masato's childhood home, Sachiko must not only adapt to life with her mother-in-law - she also must help Hikaru, whose developmental disabilities make it notoriously difficult for him to accept changes to his routine, adapt to this new living situation and a new school. As Sachiko tries to balance caring for Kanon and Hikaru in the face of her mother-in-law's constant disapproval, will the Azuma family emerge from what seems like the darkest of tunnels into the light? Told in completed chapters as well as unfinished pages that the creator drew while battling a long illness, this final volume of With the Light serves as a legacy to the late Keiko Tobe's inspiring dedication to bring to light the hardships and joys of raising an autistic child for readers around the world.

Believe in the light
By RCWikkydArtist
I have been following this series since I first saw this on the bookshelf at Barnes n Noble (or was it Borders before it closed down?) and it is a masterpiece. Though it is set in Japan and there are obvious cultural differences, the story captures the universal experience of becoming a parent and discovering your child is autistic. I am no parent myself but I am autistic. I can only imagine the feelings and experiences of my parents when they learned I was autistic. Though I myself am high-functioning and more developed than Hikaru, that did not mean I did not relate to him. His kind and gentle nature, his love for his sister, and his incidents all bring back memories of when I was young and not so developed with behavior and social skills. By following his life story, I am reminded of my own and I am humbled by those memories. Outside of Hikaru's life when the story switches to focus on his family and friends, we see the best and worst of people. This is a series that will warm your heart and at other times break it, open your eyes and perhaps change the way you look at things, and not only make you aware of people with autism but believe in them as well. It is such a shame that the author passed away and was unable to finish her wonderfully touching books but I will not forget her or her books. Should you choose to get into this series, you will not regret it.

Thank you Tobe-sensei
By Nurse Washu
With the Light is a series that I've followed since it was first published in English and I enjoyed every page of it. It took me quite a long time to find the last Volume #8 (mostly my own fault) and have read it only recently. The first three chapters continue the story where it left off from Volume #7. Sachiko and the Azuma family are now living in her husband Masato's family residence with his mother. Although Sachiko works hard and copes the best that she knows how, she continually chafes under the yoke of Masato's mother's criticism and rigid traditional values. However, in these chapters we do see the beginnings of the ice between them melting. After spending another visit with Okamura and his employer Ryoumou, Masato's mother starts to develop some appreciation for the talents of those with autism. While it may be small and simple, this shows for the first time a positive attitude on her behalf which previously had been wholly negative. At the same time Sachiko begins to learn more from her mother-in-law about traditional housekeeping and realizes that she wasn't really doing anything wrong before. It's just that her own family growing up was modern and casual and did not train her in traditional methods of housekeeping. Instead of being a problem, housekeeping becomes a new challenge to learn. Sachiko also welcomes her mother-in-law's willingness to help out with raising Kanon. Shortly after this, Masato's sister comes to visit with her family, and here sadly the main storyline ends.
The final two chapters are presented in an unfinished storyboard form. Here Keiko Tobe does her best to tie up many loose ends with characters from earlier in the series: Eri-chan, Gori-sensei, Kaori, Nobuaki-kun Kanata-kun, Moe-chan, and many others. Sachiko also meets up with one of the mothers of one of Hikaru's new classmates and between the two of them they hatch a marvelous plan for a new community center like Rainbow House. This part serves as the conclusion of the story and while premature I am sympathetic for its necessity. The cover sketch of Eri-chan for chapter 29 looks like it would have been amazing cute, and I am so sad that it and the other pages were never properly completed.
Also presented with With the Light volume 8 are two single chapter stories written previously: Thank You Sensei, and Spring Sunshine. The title of Thank You Sensei is a play on the word "sankyuu" which is interpreted to mean "maternity leave". For the past year Hiromi Yamamoto has been working as a substitute teacher while the regular teacher was out on maternity leave. During her time away the regular teacher decided to resign, however being a substitute does not mean that Yamamoto-sensei can inherit her current position. In fact, the rigid and uncaring school bureaucracy is intent on her leaving as soon as her contract is up. The resulting forced departure puts a great stress on all concerned, but ... well I don't want to spoil the ending.
Spring Sunshine is a story about a grumpy old man who in his twilight years strikes up an unlikely friendship with a young boy that just moved into town. Fujita-san lives all alone in the house that he worked all of his life to pay for. His children have moved away and his wife is deceased so all he has left to care for is the flower garden he had started with his wife. Over the years he has grown to love the flowers but detest other people because they do not understand or care about him. Then comes along Sugaru who accidentally flings a boomerang into Fujita-san's yard. Initially angry, Fujita tries to get Sugaru to leave, but the young boy's interest in the flowers melts his anger, and eventually the old man's heart as well. Curiously similar to the story of Kevin and the old man with the shovel in the first Home Alone movie, Spring Sunshine brought tears to my eyes. It really is a lovely story with a bittersweet ending.
And lastly, some personal comments from me. I was greatly saddened to hear about the passing of Keiko Tobe. I will treasure the stories you created for all time and I am sure many of your other fans will also. These were all wonderful gifts to me, Thank you Tobe-sensei!

With The Light
By Jodi Scaltreto
I loved the series. It was so sad that the author had passed away before the story was finished. I could see that there probably would have been more books after this one. The short stories she wrote at the end that they included in this volume were interesting but did not really relate to the series. Still it was an interesting read.
