As far as asexual/aromantic representation, this manga was great. There's not much ace content to begin with, and even less that features nuanced conversations or authentic growth. I appreciate that Chika ends up helping a sexually-involved couple navigate the aftermath of a cheating-related argument. Marginalized people often have unique insight and perspectives that could benefit all of us. Learning about an experience that differs from the dominant culture and dominant narratives provides opportunities for us to imagine possibilities beyond our current scope of thinking. I'd happily share this manga with young people in my life!
