Reviews

From the start of its second chapter, [Love Me for Who I Am] had me mesmerized...relatable conflicts and challenges fill nearly every panel. The raw emotion of these are made palatable to even the most casual readers, though, by its sugary coating.
--Ashley Hakker, Anime Herald

Clear, endearing art enhances the narrative's accessibility... Manga creator Konayama, while not nonbinary, embraces difficult conversations leading to meaningful moments...making this an appealing queer series opener for rom-com fans. --Publishers Weekly
