Everyone should read this book. If your ace or want to know more about it or you just want to understand more please pick this up.
I think this book is a wonderful place to start if you have questions about what asexual means, and how it differs from person to person.

Absolutely loved this. A lot of books and manga that address asexuality do it on a relatively surface level. These characters are very layered. It starts out sort of very basic, but as it opens up and Chika considers herself and the world and listens to her friends and other people in the world around her there is genuine complexity to how sexuality and gender and romance and relationships are discussed without it feeling too preachy or non-fictional. It still feels like a nonfiction manga while still being very informative. Great bit of lit.

This was so good! I think it does a good job of straddling the line between technical explanations and real human experiences. I really liked the different characters and their genuine relationships. I wish I could read a whole series about them! As an ace person, I think it does a good job at asexual representation.
