My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness by Nagata Kabi

5.0

an extremely raw, honest and vulnerable autobiographical manga about the author's lifelong struggles with mental illness, self-harm, and eating disorders. throughout the manga she reflects on her troubled relationship with her family’s expectations, the pressure of sociocultural norms to conform, and her own troubles understanding her gender and sexuality. the story is focused on her inner emotional world as she self reflects and psychoanalyses herself, with the pivotal story beat centered on her having her first sexual experience at age 28 with a hired lesbian escort, while she traces the events that got her into this situation. seeing the mental and physical pits she falls into is painful but watching her slowly learn to care for herself and try to take back the reins in her life is beautiful. in short, it’s a 28 yr old lesbian's coming of age story. more than anything, i am rooting for the author ❤️
