I don't think she necessarily listens to Weezer. A poster up in the store doesn't mean she personally listens to them.

Ah, the gay panic of a country girl. A rare delicacy indeed.

I'm not getting gay panic. I'm getting social panic.

Does it have to be manga, or can it be webcomics in general?

Have to say I missed it being ace...

I'm ace, and I missed it being ace.

I was actually hoping someone could clarify asexuality for me as I am a sexual person,

The prefix 'a-' can mean "on, in, at", "in such state or condition", "in the manner of", or "not or without" depending on conext. Therefore, the word asexual can mean to be without or to not have sex or to be in the state or condition of sex. Asexuality can be no sex and can be having sex.

However, if one derives some form of fulfillment from sex, isn't that just being sexual regardless of importance and or prevalence or rate of occurrence?

I would have to assume that asexuality is ultimately defined by a state of absence of sex that is sustained without any desire for sex and any derived fulfillment from sex. Rather, an asexual person may have sex, but they won't miss or desire sex after a time of not having it and or when never having had sex?

Asexuality is a spectrum.

Basically, asexuality means not being sexually attracted to others.

However, there's romantic asexuals, who have relationships, but not sex. There's aromantic asexuals, who have no desire for relationships. There's grey asexuals who do feel sexual attraction, under very specific conditions only. There's demi-asexuals, who feel sexual attraction only after getting to know someone and creating a bond with them. And others.

I just say "I'm just me."

For examples in webcomics, there's Erin in Girls with Slingshots.
Vincent in How to Be a Werewolf who's demisexual.
Fiona in Supernormal Step.
Hannelore in Questionable Content.
Shades of A, the protagonist is ace.
Dina in Dumbing of Age is grey-ace.

Note, the A in LBGTIA2S+ stands for asexual, NOT ally.

I tried reading it. I found the torture and murder elements too disturbing.

Ah, a lot of good insight by commentators in this. Re: Hinato's problems with intimacy. Makes perfect sense, the ending now.

This is the best new release of this year, hands down.

I gotta disagree with you there. My choice for best new release of the year is Drif by Heilung.

I'm a little confused.

Did they agree to be platonic lovers?

they ace or demi. It's up to your imagination what they will or won't do

I suppose that's possible. I've known people in such relationships IRL.

Tracy tweets in both English and Chinese, and posts shots of English texts of My Dear Lass. I wonder if she's bilingual.

She really needs to get to Mastodon now.

This whole policy angered me so much that I just had to come and comment on it, without even having finished the chapter yet.

Okay, finished the two chapters, they were fun.

Now, going back to this policy: I find it appalling that they're demanding the employees buy the store's clothes—and from what I'm getting they'd have to get new clothes all the time, in order to keep up with what the store offers. This is a waste of money as well as a waste of clothing. Unless the salaries are so generous that the store's ultra-expensive stuff is actually affordable, it's a horrible and unfair policy, even if I can understand the reasoning behind it.

This is actually the policy of Lululemon.
