"…as long as I could keep people from seeing the real me that I hate, I thought everything would be okay…"
This was a very sweet stand alone manga with a very big punch. Hara explains her personal experience with body positivity along with a few more perspectives. Her very relatable story sheds a light on silent struggles that a lot of people we know and love are going through. I resonated with this book because in my recent adult life I have been struggling with my weight. Not all body positivity struggles look the same and any unintentional change to your body can be jarring. Hara's point to include that message in her story made me feel very validated and seen. She touches on a lot of points that really help to bring perspective on the subject. I think my favorite part about this book is that she just wanted to share her story in hopes that it may help others. That's the best reason I can think of to share a story.
