As an asexual and aromantic person, there is all too much and yet nothing at all that I relate to in this story. Fortunately, I was never too hung up on my sexuality. When I was younger, I already knew the term, what it was, and that it applied to me. However, I am very much an outlier.
Reading this gave the same feeling as listening to the personal journey of other ace people. There is so much confusion and guilt and shame—how can you ever find love or friendship or even feel like a normal person when you're missing such a crucial part of being alive? But sexual and romantic attraction isn't what makes us human.
The supporting cast proves this, too. There are tons of different kinds of ace representation. We see relationships differently and I'm glad that was also taken into consideration. This does make it feel a bit educational, but if this gets allosexual people to understand asexuality better, then I'm happy to let it go.
Seeing Chika go through all of this realize that it's okay felt sweet. That's really what this story is: it's so, so sweet.
