I love how this managed to be such a sweet story while also being incredibly informative! I really enjoyed getting to go on this journey of self-discovery with the MC :) great art, great story! and I honestly loved the fujoshi bestie lol, I must admit I kinda saw myself in her… :P
Most basic ace storyline ever, but cool to see it in a manga

This manga does an excellent job of showing the sometimes difficult and confusing journey of self discovery for individuals in a gender and/or sexual orientation minority. It's not too heavy and the main casts curiosity and acceptance of others felt refreshing.
An excellent read I would recommend to young teens of any identity because the message of proper communication, understanding, and being true to yourself is a great foundation for young minds.

This book is what I should have had when I was going through my own journey of finding asexuality a few years ago and I love how the questions and answers are still relevant.
I like how some parts are what aces actually struggle with or fill in the blanks (for the time being while we still search for answers) and other things we might be questioning about.

I'm glad this exists. It was cute, and informative and interesting to find out about different characters and how they interacted. Some panels were really relatable: there are never enough aro/ace centered books out there.

A wonderful look into the complex identity that is the asexuality and aromantic spectrum. I have struggled for years whether to call myself asexual & aromantic, despite sometimes crushing on fictional characters, and even occasionally thinking I want a relationship till I get into one, and I very much related and felt a connection with the main character, having experienced many of the things she went through. In addition, the art was beautiful, and I very much enjoyed the overall themes of UFOs and aliens, and the way people on the ace and aro spectrum might feel like one. I plan to buy this manga once the physical comes out, as it helped me understand myself a bit better as well, and made very clear that you choose which label you prefer, based on the experiences you have and how they relate to them.
I have such mixed feelings with this one. I loved the concept but I didn't like the execution. The concept was sooooo important. But i felt so underwhelmed after finishing this book.
Books are usually either for entertainment or educational but this one was neither. It introduced the topic of asexuality however there was never an ending nor any progress in the story. There were some moments which were so cute but then they story would float to a monologue which would lead to nowhere. Also there was a male roommate whose purpose I couldn't understand at all. It was a very luke warm experience unfortunately.
