Description
Any good love story starts at the beginning: Where and how did the lovebirds meet? Was it love at first sight? And most importantly, was there a spark?
For Yuriko and Gakurouta, their initial meeting was nothing to write home about; after all, matchmaking services aren't unheard of. But a chance second encounter on the street revealed that, as an asexual woman and gay man, they might have much more in common than they initially assumed.
In that moment, they felt not a spark but something better: the seed of a friendship, ready to take root and bloom.
Discover their journey in I Want to Be a Wall, Vol. 2 by Alexis Eckerman, Honami Shirono, and Emma Schumacker.
