5.0

I did not expect to love this one so much, given how wacky the setup is introduced in the beginning of volume 1. But it actually takes great care with the queer topics presented and I really like how much focus is given to the ups and downs of the platonic relationship at the centre of the story. The manga really isn't subtle but for topics with very little representation (like being aroace) I think we are still at a point where on the nose definitions are needed (and appreciated).
