This manga has a very interesting and refreshing premise: it portrays the relationship between two women who are asexual (they don't experience sexual attraction for others). It also tackles other unique themes like how is it to pursue a career going to trade school and the use of AI in the voice careers, as well as music production. I liked that it presents some characters that have different and contrasting sexual orientations, and explains them a little bit. It narrates the journey Matoi, the main character, went through going from highschool, in the countryside, to trade school, in Tokyo, and her journey understanding herself, her feelingsand what she wants to do in her carreer.

Matoi is asexual but ends up developing feelings for Yuriko, who is also asexual but arromantic as well. I appreciated how the author showed Yuriko's thoughts and conflicts about her emotions. I am demissexual, but I definitely understand how she felt trying to make sense of her feelings for Matoi. Their relationship takes a long time to develop because both are coming to terms with their sexualities and romantic preferences.

It's very wholesome how Yuriko gets to feel accepteded and secure with the way that Matoi doesn't expect nor pressures her into doing anything she's not comfortable with, and shows her that she can rely on her. Seeing Matoi developing her confidence through time is very wholesome too. I like how the story ended with their relationship too.

So, you may be thinking, with me writing so many good things about this manga, why do I have mixed feelings about it?

The main issue for me is that everything felt so... cold. Maybe it's the art style, the colors, or the pacing, but I couldn't connect with any of the characters in an emotional way. Perhaps this was intentional by the author, maybe she wanted to give off this feeling. But it left me disappointed because I was so excited when I discovered this manga that had everything I enjoy reading about: queer (and asexual) representation, motorcycles, coming of age, self-discovery, and profession-related settings with young adults. I'm even interested in electronic music production (like Matoi does). And yet, even though the characters are so similar to me and are going through things that I have also experienced, it felt somewhat flat. Everything feels a little dated and lifeless, even though it's a recent manga.

Again, this is only my opinion, and I do think it's a sweet story that tackles relevant topics in a respectful way. I just didn't enjoy it very much, which was such a pity.
