She seems to have had a really sheltered life. It’s actually news to her that two people could genuinely fall in love with each other and that this is the basis of a number of weddings and lifelong partnerships. “Love is real” - who knew that could blow any adult’s mind?

Seven Seas Licenses Nagata Kabi's MY ALCOHOLIC ESCAPE FROM REALITY Manga". Seven Seas Entertainment. 2020-04-24. Nagata Kabi’s latest is another autobiographical manga, this time about love and dating and gender and suchlike. You’d think the author of a book called “My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness” would have figured out her sexuality by now but apparently not. There's some important lessons in here, though one could also say they are pretty common sense, and therefore maybe not so revelatory in themselves.

Very little actual action happens in this particular series. It mostly consists of the author mulling things over, contemplating why fe's different from other people, and philosophizing. The most off-the-wall instance of armchair psychology is probably when the author suggests that everybody is naturally attracted to womenand that people who are attracted to men grow into that attraction (ch. 5). Though I suppose that this idea of mothers beingthe initial object of sexual interest is essentially just the Oedipus Complex (...not that the Oedipus Complexis actually empirically supported or all that trustworthy of a theory). Fe also creates a whole framework of hurdles that have to be overcome (with several of those hurdles being either irrelevant, in all honesty, or kinda redundant), only to then discard that entire framework in the very next chapter. I’ve so far refrained from rating her works since to be honest, it doesn’t feel right for me to rate another person’s “real” thoughts and experiences of the world and since it’s told in such a straightforward way I feel it’s almost impossible not to sympathize with her. But it seems like MAL is forcing me to do it this time. So that’s that. This book is less a tale of events than an essay about the search for love. One event does get narrated, a sexual assault that occurred when she was eight, and this stands out, but almost nothing else really happens except a remarkable focus on her identity in various nodes. The "triggering" event for Nagata is attending--for the first time!--a friend's wedding, and wondering why she can't have that, too, this love thang. She had doubted it really existed, sent a query out to her internet followers, who confirmed that yes, indeed, love is possible. This is my fourth of five autobiographical manga I have read by Kabi Nagata. As with some other autobiographical or memoir comics artists, she seems to be--book after book--chronicling her life, as it goes, book after book. I think of three people immediately to compare this work to: Lucy Knisley, Michael Rabagliati, and Keiler Roberts, though there are many more. This series stands out in that the work is easily the most intense, the most explicitly troubled. Not without occasional self-deprecating humor--she knows she is unlike most people--Nagata is ruthlessly honest about her various life struggles.

So, for starters, Kabata arranges, with the support of her parents, to be professionally photographed in an elaborate ballroom-stye wedding dress, a bizarre event that not surprisingly leaves her sad. Why do that?! But the point is one Nagata has not thought about before Why can't I have love?! The dress for many symbolizes love, but she begins with the dress! Hans Rollmann (2018-08-16).

A seaside love story! The first volume was all about Shun and Mio figuring out themselves and their feelings, and now they’re traveling to Hokkaido as a couple to visit Shun’s estranged family. Painful and sweet in equal turns, this is a must-read for older fans of queer love stories. In this gritty isekai a group of strangers must work together after they all suddenly wake up with amnesia in a fantasy world. The characters are so well developed that you get highly invested in them and are truly afraid for their survival.

The author brings up confusion about her sexuality, her gender, and why she thinks she hasn't been able to love so far. Fascinatingly, she didn't know that all-encompassing romantic love was real until adulthood. Oct 25 Yearning Teens, Frustrated Romance, Pretty Skies — Is There Anything Else to Makoto Shinkai?

This is a title I haven’t read, but repeatedly came up in any conversation I’ve had about undiscovered gems the past few years. Mark Russell is a rising name in the comics world and I’m very interested in grabbing this deluxe hardcover. Keywords that come to mind reading this instalment were love, deconstruction, intimacy, harm, growing up, sexuality and gender. As I was reading, I immediately regretted my decision and wondered if I should've tried a sample first. Although I had greatly enjoyed her first manga, and mostly enjoyed its sequel - I had to DNF her recent book about her drinking problem that caused her to get pancreatitis. I just couldnt find it engaging and there was nothing there for me to latch onto. This series really took me by surprise! A seemingly shy girl secretly spends her days tweeting about a fantasy relationship with the most popular boy in school (who doesn’t know she exists). He seems like the ideal dreamboat, except it turns out he’s a rude brat! This story is filled with characters who turn the classic shoujo tropes on their heads, and it’s really refreshing to see friendships and romances form between characters that are flawed, but ultimately very likeable.The sequel to My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness, My Solo Exchange Diary (Japanese: 一人交換日記, Hitori kōkan nikki), was published in Japanese later in the same year, 2016, and in English in 2018. While continuing to explore the themes of My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness, My Solo Exchange Diary is based on the concept of diary entries or letters that Nagata exchanges with her former and future self. [3] Its second volume, titled My Solo Exchange Diary 2 (一人交換日記2) was released in Japanese in 2017 and in English in 2019.
