I absolutely loved this manga volume 💖ðŸ˜ðŸ’– These characters are my babies 🥺
I’m not gonna lie. When I first went into this, I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about it. Reading books with ace MCs can sometimes be very contentious for me. I’m ace, but the ace spectrum is wide. It can lead to me not feeling super connected to certain ace stories. However, this story? 🥺 It was so good! Even though I didn’t perfectly relate to the MCs experience of being aro-ace, the way her experiences were presented were so relatable 😠I really felt everything she did and could draw connections to my own life!
As for the male MC, he just warms my heart. My man doesn’t deserve to spend his life without a love interest just because he’s hung up on a straight man 😠He’s valid, but I also want him to have the fulfilling love life he clearly wants to have.
However, part of what I love about this manga is how both characters genuinely want to support each other. They care about one another and want to do right by the other. They, ultimately , don’t want to be lonely and are helping each other live happy lives 💖
