Considerations This is a spoilerfree review. 80+ in my rating means really good. This manga deals with heavy themes such as depression selfharm eating disorders and suicidal thoughts. If you feel like those themes are sensitive topics for you please skip the manga. If you are struggling with any issue call your countrys hotline. Take care . The Story Kabi feels totally lost after graduating from high school. Losing her sense of self and having no aspirations she start spiraling down now she has to look for whats the meaning of self and how to exist in society. The story of My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness is really good. I honestly didnt expect much but I was positively surprised because the author lays down her biography in a pretty raw way. By reading this work you feel like a close friend is telling you their deepest struggles. One thing that I really would like to mention is how the author explores and talks about her sexuality. Although I do support LGBTQIA+ I dont understand a large part of it as I am not part of it. The way that the author talks about her queerness and lesbianism was pretty interesting for me to read. I was able to understand her point of view and empathize with her. The Art Style The art style although simple is really good. Most of the time theres no background and were facing the authors struggles and thoughts. Her facial expressions are really well done. 420https://comicsly.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/mlewlheader.jpeg?w=1024 Now what really takes this work to the next level and puts it on really well for me is how she artistically describes her emotional struggle through art. If you have ever tried to write about emotions you know how hard it is to describe something like happiness or sadness without using these words. 320https://hypercritic.org/wpcontent/uploads/2022/04/plate191.png meirl The author is able to explain deep emotional and mental struggles like social pressure her many selfs and even selfharming through her doodles and words. Its something outstanding that I personally think makes it easier to empathize with her struggles. 450https://64.media.tumblr.com/1e6805b7894f1ed69eea5432142add9b/4bf14a44f3603033c1/s540x810/8c7bcafae8a850dbd140e441f32f7c543af1b7ca.jpg The Characters There are a small number of characters in this work. Kabi her parents and a few supporting characters. Nothing besides Kabi is developed but thats expected in an autobiography. As I always like to talk about the main characters Kabi was amazing. Autobiography without hiding all the dark parts of herself. I couldnt ask for anything else. Conclusion If youre like me you skip everything and read only the conclusion because you dont want to get spoiled with other themes. So I will try to be brief on this point: Read it. If you can go through all the sensitive topics this work is really interesting. It can help you understand a bit more about the hardships of someone else and its always helpful to learn about someone elses struggles as we never know who might be struggling right now. EDIT: After further looking into my list and through all the talk I had with a lot of people postreview I changed the previous score from 8 to 8.6.
