This is a collection of moments from the author's life and lgbtqia+ people they have interviewed. It flowed a little like a story being broken up by snippets of interview. There is a section with an age-gap couple that mentions they enjoy incest roleplay, which I was not a fan of. I wish the story flowed a bit smoother and kept one concept per page as some pages felt muddy when trying to read them like a standard format manga.  It was a brief dip into several queer concepts but ultimately didn't provide a whole much new information to me. There was a refreshing factor in hearing from an elder lgbtqia+ person, even if their journey is quite different.

There was a lot of information packed in, but it left me feeling a bit scattered (despite how Arai sorted everything into titled chapters).
