asian shows with a disabled mc
I'm disabled myself and sometimes I find myself craving a show with disability representation, so I decided to make a list! This is one specifically for shows from asian countries, I will probably make another list for shows from non asian countries.
My apologies if I include a show with bad disability representation, I haven't watched all of these shows.
