About this series
Pan-Asian New Zealanders tell their sweet, messy, horny stories – this time, on their own terms.
With the help of animation, we delve into their dating diaries as they go through situationships, breakups and hookups with boys who don’t have bed frames.
Some stories are about how being Asian affects who we desire, who desires us and the kind of love we think is possible for ourselves.
And some are simply stories about dating from people who happen to be Asian.
