polychromatic_hedgehog_parable's review against another edition

I really enjoyed this book!

Honestly, it's one of the only books I've read (especially of the variety that I'd hand to someone who doesn't know much about queer issues) that portrays the "idk fully if this fits me but fuck it it works for now" vibe.

good stuff. good one to keep in the back of the brain for LGBTQIA+ allyship lists and stuff

Is Love the Answer? is a manga which follows a young girl who is learning more about her identity and finding that she might fall on the asexual spectrum.
I want to start this off by saying that I am not asexual and cannot speak on representation. Please seek out own voices reviewers for this manga.
I really enjoyed this manga! It's very clear that Uta Isaki did a lot of research on asexuality and the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole. I liked that this manga showed the spectrum of asexuality instead of the general idea of what it is. It explores all the different types of asexuality through not only the character's research but other characters we meet. I loved the main character's friendship with their new friends and seeing them become so comfortable with who they are. My favorite part was that the main character was able to find an identity they are comfortable with but are still researching to learn more about themselves.
I really loved this manga and I would highly recommend reading it!
