This was a fun manga. I wouldn't say it was necessarily my favorite but this is also my first memoir read in manga format so maybe that is why I didn't connect with it as much as I wanted to. I will say overall this was fun and the art was really good. The book had a good message overall and I would definitely recommend it.

Mieri you are so real, ash is not a good woman bro, this divulged into something else, but it did it well and it was relatable.

More like "The Girl With Untreated Clinical Depression."
It was well-written, and the art was great. I enjoyed the manga style and the story flow. As for the story itself, though, there just wasn't much to it. And I hate to bash the content because it's a legit life experience. But homegirl needed some serious help. She dated someone for one month, and it took four YEARS to get over it?! I feel sad for her not getting proper mental health help.

I thought that this was very entertaining. I know the author is talking about getting a girlfriend and then taking a long time to get over her but the way that she talked about everything was so candid and funny. I really enjoyed reading this.
