My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness by Nagata Kabi

dark emotional funny hopeful informative reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

This book is so good. With my expert opinion as a lonely lesbian: read this manga. It's both absolutely heart-wrenching and really captures Nagata's struggles with mental health and self-worth, but still manages to be hilarious at points. She really just captures the isolating nature of this experience, the way it can be at odds with parents' expectations, and the awkwardness of trying to explore oneself with so much candidness and humor. I deeply felt like every single page of this manga. There's also a panel where
  she compares her reactions to erotic content of men vs women, where her little avatar simply thinks "he sure is naked," which is such a concise and accurate way of describing that. "He sure is naked" is an emotion and I've felt it.
Overall, I was just so invested in this story, really understanding and rooting for Nagata every step of the way, and despite the dark content, the humor and hope of the story made it a deeply enjoyable read. I'm looking forward to reading the other manga in these series once I can get my hands on them!
