I gave this a 10/10 because its so relatable its scary. This does not mean all asexual people will relate to it, but I can tell you for sure it is a completely accurate depiction of what some ace people go through in life. As someone that is biromantic and ace, this book didn't need to be any longer than it was to have a massive impact on me.
I don't expect everyone to like it as much as I did, but if you're at all curious about asexuality or youre ace and want to see representation, This one is very good.

As the mangaka has said in the Afterword, asexuality comes in different forms and not everyone is the same. The mangaka is also different than their own Ace character they have created, themselves being under the same spectrum. I don't think it's harmful in any way either. It's not saying ... Mar 31, 2021
Tl;dr If you're looking for a short manga with a good representation/explanation of asexuality, I'd recommend it. If you're looking for a longer manga with a complex romance, I don't recommend it.
I recently bought this online since it was on sale. I'm asexual aromantic, so I'm always on the look out for manga with aspec characters. This one has been on my radar for awhile, and since it's not popular at all, I figured I'd post this. Due to it being a one-shot, its only 45 pages. Not much to get a relationship across.
