I did not enjoy this but I guess I'm glad it exists? Could be that I didn't like it cause it's slightly younger than what I usually read? Could be that I found the ace rep to be falling into the stereotype of clueless and immature which is just so often done.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me an ARC of this book for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

This short little manga is so sweet! It centers around an aroace character AND includes several queer side characters who are all represented in such positive and authentic ways. It also contains really valuable information about asexuality and would be a fantastic read for anyone wondering about their own sexuality and gender identity.

My only complaint is that I wish it was longer. I would love to read more of Chika's story, or more about the various side characters.

Helped me learn alot. 

A cute beginners guide to asexuality and non-confirmative sexualities. A bit obviously didactic, but I'm sure people will appreciate this
