Another beautiful illustrated memoir by Nagata Kabi. I feel like the pacing was a bit weird for me personally but I loved the ending message for the manga. I do hope things get better for her and she gets to publish fiction like she wants to 🥺

Kabi is still a mess but a bit more hopeful this time around, also the art looks especially great in this book.

dark sad tense fast-paced

This is as gut-wrenching as always. This is my final stop on the 'read everyone Nagata Kabi has written' circuit, and I've gotta say that she has dealt with unimaginable horrors in her life...In a way, she reminds me a lot of myself in the sense that we both have struggled so much and have experienced a degree of infantilization that we must unlearn from our upbringings. I pray for her peace and sanity. I don't know much about the cycles of addiction but I am rooting for her and her health. After reading all her works, she feels like a familiar friend detailing her entire journey over a long dinner in a secluded part of a restaurant that is dimly lit. I don't know how to rate this, especially since it feels like the end (though I know she's coming out with another title soon), but I feel like I've lost a morose friend that I've drifted away from. I don't know if this is a real review or a ramble at 1 am, but I hope someone relates to it or finds it helpful.
