I loved this very much.
My only little point of criticism is that while the synopsis mentions Chika being aromantic as well as asexual, there is no mention of aromanticism at all in the manga. It does talk about how sexual attraction and romantic attraction are two different things, and Chika does mention how she doesn't understand romance, but she keeps only referring to herself as asexual, not aromantic asexual.

Excuse me while I go cry.
I loved this SO MUCH. It tackles so many important topics, such as:
-the broad spectrum of asexuality, but also other sexual orientations and gender, too
-what it means to be "normal" in regards to allo/asexuality, gay, male, etc.
-labels can change over time, and that's okay
-everyone has different ideas of romance and relationships
-aphobia can range from comments about like "you just haven't found the right person yet" to sexual assault (but when Chika opens up about it, she isn't victim-blamed!!!!!)
-sexual and romantic attraction are separate things, and some ace individuals want romantic relationships, some don't, all are still valid aces
I could honestly keep going on and on, but I will stop here (for now). But I just LOVED this.

I really liked this book, it was so cute and informative. I’ll probably end up buying it lol. It’s so exciting reading aro/ace books because there are so few. It also made be really happy because there were micro labels talked about.
