A review by rereader33
My Solo Exchange Diary Vol. 1 by Nagata Kabi

5.0

Everyone should give this manga (and it's prequel) a read for its accurate depictions of depression, the stress of moving out on one's own, dealing with a stressful home life, loneliness, the list goes on. This is easily one of the most relatable memoirs I have ever read and while the art style is not what one would consider "polished" it effectively gets Kabi's messages across and even enhances certain panels. I loved this sequel and cannot wait for volume 2 to come out later this year. This woman's story needs to be told because I feel that her struggles speak to so many people (including myself) and her story can help others struggling the way she is. Loved, loved, loved this volume and so stoked for the next one!
