kcarri 's review for:
Is Love the Answer?
by Uta Isaki
This is a really good exploration of asexuality that I would perhaps say is better than Loveless to an extent.
It follows Chika who doesn't really know who she is but through guidance of her psychology professor, finds asexual to be her term in a world full of romance and basically follows her through her journey into discovering the full extent of asexuality. And because the whole plot is about asexuality (and doesn't distract itself with a plain romance subplot), there's a real deep dive into the asexual experience and wider societal implications of that. It's very authentic portrayal too - no doubt aided by the author being asexual.
Honestly, from now on, I'd argue that this is my go-to fiction book on asexuality. Accessible, authentic, and doesn't shy away from showing the horrors asexual people face and the beauty in their life too.
