Well, as an asexual and maybe an arospec girl, I'm a little disgusted by the representation we get in this manga. Asexuality isn't about childhood traumas. And asexual people CAN FALL IN LOVE and be interested in sex, we can't just be sexually attracted to anyone. Aromanticism is about not feeling romantic attraction, not asexuality

    Tamaki isn't asexual though so I don't get why you are offended.

    yeah, Tamaki isn't confirmed ace Takumi and Shii were just speculating. The narration is super unreliable, there's a lot we don't know

    but also ace/aro gets like 0 rep and when they do it's a caricature so the disgust is valid

    All about Lust is a manhwa with a little bit of ace representation, he shows up in both stories, asexuality confirmed in the second story (chp 30-60). He doesn't appear a ton though. He doesn't have any sexual trauma, he just be fascinated with everyone else's relationship stories lol so maybe he's what you're looking for. I hope for a day when we have more ace rep that's layered

    Abstaining from sex isnt a sexuality

    I’m confused. I understand that asexuality for everyone else doesn’t equate to one facing childhood trauma but what’s wrong with this one particular character facing childhood trauma AND being asexual/aromantic? I don’t see why his trauma negates him for that title just because of upbringing.
