This was simultaneously entertaining and emotional. I loved the cast of different characters struggling with aspects of their identity and society's expectations. This level of open representation (especially for aroace) is pretty rare in manga. While the humor didn't always work for me, I really appreciated the covered themes and the beginning of a meaningful platonic relationship between the two main characters. Curious to see how this will develop!
