Isaki Uta

Mine-kun is Asexual. He doesn't like sexual intimacy in a relationship. He can kiss a girl, but it's not something he wants to do if he can help it. But Murai loves him so much that she's willing to overlook the fact that she can't hold his hand; that she can't cuddle up next to him when they watch movies together; that she can't fall in love with him the way that she hopes to be loved in return. In the eyes of those around them, is this even a relationship that's meant to last, or is it a train wreck just waiting to happen?

Mine-kun is Asexual (Irodori Comics)

I thought it was all right. I think I was hoping for a different ending than that or for something a bit longer out of this oneshot.

One of the things that made me go “...huh." was when Mine was telling Murai it's ok to break up with him... because I said the exact same thing to my ex. Even though I wasn't sure of myself at the time I still accepted going out with her because I couldn't say no to my friend. She was also already active and to be all touchy-feely. I was not and that type of affection made me uncomfortable. I knew that she wanted to move further and it felt like I was holding her back so I texted her one night during spring break that it was ok to break up with me because I knew I could never give her what she wanted out of a relationship.

Being in that relationship made me realize that not only am I ace but that being close and touching makes me uncomfortable. I never really thought I'd ever see that written out in a manga. It felt weird how much I saw myself in Mine.

By the way, I would love to see continuation stories for Mine and his partner as well as Murai's friend.
