An absolutely (almost) flawless story about an LGBTQ+ person and people. It is flawless in how it treats its characters like actual people, and does not fetishize them like some half of the industry does with those in the LGBTQ+, by having 0 fanservice within its pages. It even treats those who do not yet identify and don't identify as LGBTQ+, as characters with reasons for why they act the way they do. The story is pretty straight forward, so it will not be bloated with filler. However, whether intentional or not,the characters are very one note, where one thing explains another, and that's that. It does makefor a conscise story by having more focus on the theme, but one wishes there had been more to discuss the different spectrums of sexuality and gender.(From an aroace perspective, starved for more representation)

The only thing the manga could have done without to make it truly flawless was a minor adult character (who appears only once), who commented on a teenager's chest size to tease them and another instance where one of the main character's got their chest squished to determine their gender by another character, which sadly are staples of comedy in manga and anime. If there was ever an anime adaptation, one can hope these scenes will be cut out or changed.

Love Me For Who I Am gets as its rating a high 9 from me! Only brought down by the few brief issues I had with it.
Highly recommend it to anyone on the LGBTQ+ spectrum and allies.
