As someone on the aroace spectrum this was an important drama for me. It was easily the best representation I’ve seen in media, and I hope more comes to be as years pass. The writers and actors did an incredible job making Sakuko and Satoru feel like they could be real people. All of their struggles and worries were /real./

I am very fond of the ending. The pacing and build to Satoru’s character hit just like it was meant to. Although the relationship between Sakuko and Satoru is unconventional, it works for them personally. Aroace people all have a situation special to them, and this captured that which I adore.

I also love that Kazu became a proper supporter in Sakuko’s life versus when they were dating. It was nice to see someone who was initially confused and in denial eventually come to understand and accept this part of Sakuko, especially when Sakuko lost Chizuru as a friend.

This drama made me more hopeful about my lack of attraction and I’m thankful for that. This story will definitely stay with me for a long time.
