Is love the answer?

This is Isaki's exploration of the complexities of asexuality and aromanticism. When Chika is in high school, she tries dating, only to find that she really doesn't feel sexual desire or romantic impulses. After dating two boys with the hopes that her emotions will be sparked by being in a relationship, she is unable to feel anything with either of them, leading to both relationships ending. Feeling ostracized and comparing herself to an alien who doesn't understand human relationships, Chika enrolls in a psychology program at university. When a professor she admires introduces her to the idea of asexuality, Chika's world opens up. She makes friends, learns more about the complexities of asexual identity and how it configures into the LGBTQ+ community, and begins advocacy work. Isaki's work deftly balances informational content and Chika's emotional journey throughout this one-volume manga. The manga offers tremendous insight while also telling a compelling story with soft and evocative artwork. This is a valuable and affirming manga about acceptance of self and others.
