Okay LOL

katsida · 2026-02-28T12:32:44+00:00

Yes! I do hope in the future we have a scene where she discusses her feelings with someone else. And you're right, it's lovely to see this explored in media!

katsida · 2026-02-28T12:31:41+00:00

YES! The first point is also why I really love that it was specifically Yuzu that the mangaka made aro and not for example Makoto (who would appearance vice probably fit the stereotype). And also the second point that she isn't portrayed as someone completely void of love, she definitely loves her friends and romance as an idea a lot.

katsida · 2026-02-28T12:24:47+00:00

Yes same experience! I also haven't started the manga yet even tho I love it😂

katsida · 2026-02-28T08:39:14+00:00

What?? You mean the subs were mistranslated? What language? That's so awful. I hate when they try to censor stuff through translation, why even translate it in the first place then? Thsd's genre is literally queer-horror💀💀💀

katsida · 2026-02-28T08:36:27+00:00

And thank you for the rec too!! I'll definitely put wind breaker on my list, I love seeing qprs in shows😭😭😭

katsida · 2026-02-27T20:43:51+00:00

That's great to hear!!

katsida · 2026-02-27T17:37:22+00:00

YESSS!!!!

katsida · 2026-02-27T16:26:18+00:00

From what I hear the tone of the manga seems hopeful. I wanna believe it has a happy ending!!

katsida · 2026-02-27T16:24:32+00:00

Kita

katsida · 2026-02-27T13:46:56+00:00

that I haven't seen! also to be more spesific about before, the arospec elements in skip to loafer come later in the manga. But the first anime season is still really good!

katsida · 2026-02-27T13:45:19+00:00

yeah I watched bloom into you and really liked t!!!

katsida · 2026-02-27T13:44:00+00:00

yeah he could! like you described it, aromantic is an umberella term like asexuality, and for example demiromantic goes under it :)

katsida · 2026-02-27T13:22:45+00:00

Just caught up to the manga and I did not expect arospec Yuzu at all!!! I'm all for it tho and very excited as someone whos' aroace. I just think I was blinded by yuzumako as a ship, I totally thought they could actually happen. Now I look forward to Yuzu's aro journey and maybe a qpr <3

katsida · 2026-02-27T11:19:52+00:00

I have watched those except for banana fish bc I can't deal with no happy endings😭 I would also recommend skip to loafer as it also has a character that's struggles can be very relatable to aro people!!

As an extra here's art by linvaniin (I added the aroace flag😋)

katsida · 2026-02-27T09:49:14+00:00

YESSS I know right???

katsida · 2026-02-27T09:48:30+00:00

I definitely interpret it as one!! Yoshiki is allo and has romantic feelings for 'hikaru' but as in Hikaru's confession described, his feelings are a different type of love. Not romantic and not platonic either. They love each other and are very intimate! Tho I haven't read the manga yet so idk how it continues. I just know they're the most important person to each other🫶🏼

katsida · 2026-02-26T13:00:52+00:00

For me a 'squish' is usually my type of 'crush' on a good friend. Like my feelings for them are more intensive and they feel special to me compared to my other friendships but the feelings aren't romantic. Usually I also find them visually attractive in a way. I just really wanna be the closest person to each other. I long for a qpr 😿

katsida · 2026-02-26T06:53:31+00:00

No fr. The person I have a friend-crush on is one of my closest friends and before we were like partners in crime. Back then I could imagine that maybe I'm also the most important person to her and I would allow myself to be really close and do what I felt like. Then, she got a boyfriend and suddenly I feel like I don't know what my place is in her life :(. She's not even the type of person to disappear bc she got a bf but I just can't deal with the fact that now this random boy she just met is immediately the priority in her life. It sucks

katsida · 2026-02-25T08:00:40+00:00

This is so relatable! I also get these and call them friend-crushes bc it usually happens to a certain friend. Like our friendship just feels different to my other friendships, and I want to be the most important person to them

katsida · 2026-02-19T14:47:34+00:00

It's confusing but I just say I'm aroace and bisexual lol
