didn’t live up to the hype. just another middle aged man meets highschool manic pixie dream girl plotline
so silly. took off half a star because of the translation quality.
the art was nice and i was happy to see ace rep in a manga. the characters didn’t feel very three dimensional though, and it felt more like an introductory text to asexuality than a story about the characters.
i was motivated to finish to find out the lore. the protagonist’s voice and characterization isn’t as strong as in the original series.
great intro sock knitting book with some cool texture and colorwork patterns in the second half
The Future Is Disabled: Prophecies, Love Notes and Mourning Songs
Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha
disclaimer- i only got through 90% of the book but im marking it as read anyway.
the first half of this book was 5 stars. the part about “small” acts of resistance or mutual aid was really important to me. activism isn’t just protesting or being involved in a large organization. it can also be helping out people you know, or putting up flyers, or providing emotional support. and it counts even if no one else knows about it.
i felt like the first half-ish of the book could be its own book. the second half felt less unified to the first half and more like its own collection. if the first half was prophecies, the second half was mourning songs and love notes.

this book is a good mixture of real experience and theoretical dreaming. the stories about organizing (and the times organization fell apart) were really eye opening and helped me understand how things like mutual aid and care networks are actually formed irl— and that they don’t have to be big or official.
way they wrote about gendered dynamics in caretaking work felt reductive —replacing man/woman with masc/fem just doesn’t cut it in a book whose target audience includes a lot of gender nonconforming people.
