Thank you to Kodansha Comics, NETGALLEY and author Uta Isaki for letting me read this. 


Can I just say WOW this was amazing from beginning to end and I do this is a  one shot for those who don't know. Our main character is chika we first met her in high-school in her last year and she hasn't figure out her sexuality quite yet. We see her friends trying to tell her that going put with boy and other relationship thing people would do when going but something end up happen to chika that  shouldn't have happen at all because he didn't talk to her about it before hand. Her frist relationship end bad and she doesn't tell anymore what actually happens and the girl just thinks it bad break up. The group of girl try make it up her by going out and having fun but they talk about her bad when she leaves to get something. After all of that chika leave from hometown and moves to Tokyo for college and want to know more about things that shouldn't couldn't talk to her high-school friends about. She end up meeting a professor and start to ask question to trying get some answer but ends up leaving do someone else saying something wrong. Throughout we see chika meet knew people and make new friends. Chika start to learn about her self more and more by getting books from book store and from the professor to learn more and more on where she stands on the LGBTqai community. I love how author shares more and more other communities in the lgbtqai+. It not just one we are learning from out make character. Everyone even the side characters get talk about themselves and how they felt when talking about it. They didn't know how there friends and family would take it so they didn't want to be judge by them. Getting back stories on people who are in the main character life are very important to the story if story want to process more if they are introduced. As the story process we learn more and more about chicka how certain things as kids she was told to be more mature at her age because they weren't in elementary store anymore, how chika only care about boys. But she finds people in college who loves the same anime she grow up on and have a Marathon on it. I am really happy that I got to really this story because I have someone who close to me who is asexual and I learned alot more about as I went. 


Thank you again for letting me read this.
