Konya Sukiyaki Dayo (2023)

Both are about two people that start living together platonically, and both have aromantic representation.

In Koisenu Futari, one character, Sakuko, figures out she is aromantic and asexual while the other main character, Takahashi, has already known that he is aroace for a while and is comfortable in his sexuality.
In Konya Sukiyaki Dayo, the main character Tokomo is aromantic and more like Takahashi in the way that she is already secure in knowing who she is.

Konya Sukiyaki Dayo and Koisenu Futari both focus on main characters who dismantel expectations and stereotypical ideas of how you should live and what you should do as an adult and in a relationship, and end up figuring out what works for them personally, even if it goes against typical roles of what society expects of them.
In addition, Konya Sukiyaki Dayo focuses on how a romantic and platonic relationship can be equal and the role of women in the workplace, while Koisenu Futari focuses more heavily on aromantic and asexual issues specifically.

Both have done a truly amazing job of representing how someone can be aromantic (and asexual), with characters that feel very real and create an example for a way of living as an aromantic asexual person in a world that focuses mostly on romantic relationships.

Two adult women bonding over food, although Konya Sukiyaki Dayo isn't a GL (but there's also LGBT rep since one of the main leads is aromantic!)
