Love is a difficult feeling that many people struggle to understand. That message is exactly what Kaketa Tsuki to Doughnut is about. Two complete parallel Co-workers; Hinako Uno, and Asashi Satou, who have both always been clueless about their own feelings about love, and about themselves. We watch these two characters learn what it means to change and accept themselves whilst constant supporting each other and over time, decipher the meaning of "love" together.

It's a simple Yuri, but sometimes simple is better. This realistic Yuri experience is what I believe everyone who enjoys Yuri is looking for. It's short but features extreme amounts of character ... development and get its meaning across. Reading this manga was unbelievably refreshing. The story is bare bones and doesn't feature all of the fabricated elements that COUNTLESS Yuri works tend to use.
Two characters trying to change, heavy introspection with good developments, what more could you ask for?

Compared to a story like bloom into you where a character that appears to be asexual and aromantic at first then developed those feelings during the series.
Kaketa Tsuki to Doughnut on the other hand tells the story of two asexual people that romantically fall for each other and learn to understand their feelings and more importantly accept and understand that they are asexual.

This is a pretty good romance manga with a very good story and a refreshing premise. What makes this story great and refreshing is that it could work just as well with a straight or a gay couple and does not solely focus ... on the fact that lesbian relationships are kind of taboo in japan. On the other hand what makes it stand out from the rest is that it shines a light on the different problems asexual peoples have to deal with on an everyday basis. It clearly shows the pressure that comes from the traditional norm when it comes to relationships. The manga does a great job of depicting what self hatred feels like, especially in the first volume which is pretty rare to see. It also nicely shows that asexual does not mean aromantic and does not always come hand and hand.

if you enjoy super slow burn romance, this is for you. the story is really nice, there isn't a lot of drama and it's mostly fluff. the author addresses a few topics like compulsory heterosexuality and asexuality in a very mild way, it's pretty subtle. the art is very beautiful, really cute. this manga was really lovable, it gives u a warm feeling. after all this compliments, i have to say this has some downsides too. the last volume was really underwhelming. since the story is so beautiful and wholesome, i was kinda expecting a more romantic finale, which i didn't get. the final chapters ... were too fast-paced and out of place, it just didn't feel natural. since the characters had a great chemistry, i was expecting more of it. but overall, it's a nice manga. i will still recommend it.
