This was so cute and unexpectedly moving and I wish I could rate it more than 5 stars. You follow Uno Hinako, who is desperate to be seen as normal (and straight, though it's clear she doesn't know that part yet), and her slow-building friendship with her more stoic coworker, Asahi Sato. This is just going to be a manga where the message is that being loved and loving someone is such a beneficial way to be in the world and that it can help you get better and I am so excited for the rest of this series. ♥
