Representation: Lgbtqia+ - Tumblr Posts

Character: Maki Seiji

From: Bloom Into You 

Representation: Aromantic 

Their Importance: Aromantic representation is pretty hard to find in media, especially in series like Bloom into you, where the main focus is on romance. Maki describes himself as not able to love anyone romantically, and he seems completely fine with it. There are also no suggestions that he is “weird” or “broken” for not wanting to date anyone. A common stereotype about ace/aro people is that they are cold, and Maki is the opposite of that, he is a good friend to the protagonist and cares about others.
