Is Sorawo aroace tho? Demi-romantic ace I could see I guess, but she loves Toriko back, and outright admits to it in vol 8. She's just afraid of admitting it to herself. She's also definitely attracted to Toriko's body, (she's always starring at Toriko's tits, among other things, and has been doing so consistently since they first met. It's super obvious to Toriko even if Sorawo herself doesn't realize she's doing it) so the ace part is questionable too. Really she's been super into Toriko from the very beginning, sexually and romantically, she's just so in denial of it that she doesn't realize it herself, because she's scared of things like being in a relationship or having sexual desires. Honestly, Sorawo's aversion to sex and romance reads more as a trauma response than anything to do with her sexuality imo. Toriko even starts theorizing about Sorawo maybe being a CSA survivor to explain her behaviour. Sorawo denies it, but she's already demonstrated that her memories from the cult period of her life are unreliable, and it would explain a lot of things, like, so many things about her, so who knows?
