Is Love the Answer?
Is Love the Answer? | Uta Isaki
4 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
A poignant coming-of-age story about a young woman coming into her own as she discovers her identity as aromantic asexual. A complete story in a single volume, from the creator of Mine-kun is Asexual. When it comes to love, high schooler Chika wonders if she might be an alien. She's never fallen for or even had a crush on anyone, and she has no desire for physical intimacy. Her friends tell her that she just "hasn't met the one yet," but Chika has doubts... It's only when Chika enters college and meets peers like herself that she realizes there's a word for what she feels inside--asexual--and she's not the only one. After years of wondering if love was the answer, Chika realizes that the answer she long sought may not exist at all--and that that's perfectly normal.

This was such a wonderful and heart-warming asexual/aromatic coming of age story. The characters and relationships were really well done and interesting. There was exploration of what being in a relationship meant, what love meant, and that platonic relationships can be just as valid as romantic and sexual ones.

The art style was great and I really enjoyed reading it.

Thanks to #Netgalley for the #ARC of the book

I think this is one of the better stories outlining the struggles of understanding oneself, while dealing with outside influences. It covers the many ways in which people identify as asexual, and the different variations. It also covers the anxiety of actually fully deciding how to identify within the asexual spectrum. I, myself, have chosen not to go further then my identity of asexual, because it is overwhelming. A great read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Was so stoked to find this one because it‘s not everyday you find asexuality in a book! 🖤🤍💜
