Starting with the positives, I will probably always have a soft spot for people flailing through life. Well, unless they are being a menace to society and hurting people...

The newest diary manga from the Harvey Award-winning creator of My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness.The social anxiety and instabilities are still strong within this autobiographical comic essay (the fourth such series from this author). It can be hard to tell how much of this is an accurate reflection of what happened and how much of it is narrative flourishes to make it more entertaining for readers (like, I'm pretty sure some of these emoting panels are exaggerations at the very least). 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. This is another fantastic autobiography by Nagata Kabi, but there's one major problem. The translation. A lot of the phrasing and word choices are very clearly Americanized, and that can take me out of what's supposed to be the authors personal thoughts and feelings. I could be wrong, but I have a strong feeling that a lot of the terms for gender and sexuality they use don't have Japanese equivalents so a lot of it felt off. Aside from that, there's not much else to complain about. It's admirable how personal the author is willing to get when discussing dark and uncomfortable subject matters that Oct 25 Yearning Teens, Frustrated Romance, Pretty Skies — Is There Anything Else to Makoto Shinkai? a b Sena Kondo (2016-12-31).

When comparing her mentality and self-preservation to the previous works, I felt she has moved forward and is finally on the way to learn the joy of self-love. And I think that’s great. Because her parents had an arranged marriage (a subject not explored at all), she doesnt seem to understand that people can learn to love each other over time? And she seems confused about how romantic love works? (I thought there might be something here about being aromantic but this literally never comes up. Which is fine, since these are American concepts and even with the internet, it's not clear what people in other parts of the world know or what language they use to describe gender and sexual orientations in their own culture).What makes Kabi Nagata’s stories so unique is their blunt and raw approach in a way unusual in fiction coming from Japan. Of course she gets a lot of "likes" and finds, with the help of her friends, that she is being seen as easy to "get." What to do? How can one meet someone one might fall in love with? This seems like a cute question for someone who is ten, but Nagata is in her thirties. Feels anguished, of course, though we know she is not alone to be lonely in her thirties, or at any time. 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. Aside from the desperate longing, there was some discourse in regard to gender identity and sexuality but it barely scratched the surface.

Another book from Nagata Kabi. This time it’s main focus is about yearning for love and marriage. Although not as impactful as the first or second book, I still found it relatable on so many levels. And that’s to be expected considering all human beings share the same basic needs. Content warning: The book (with warning beforehand) briefly describes a sexual assault the author experienced as a child.

An inability to understand herself and others properly, gender issues, sexual issues, fear of humans, only comfortable in solitude, sensory issues (she mentions how one of the main reasons to leave her parents’ apartment, apart from the depressive, loveless atmosphere, was that their voices sounded shrill), plenty of executive dysfunction (she can’t organize her own life for shit). Bitch, you are clearly autistic. Or maybe I’m delusional. My two boys love to invent creative “detective missions” to solve around the house, and I feel like this is the perfect little book to put in their hands for them to enjoy and spark their imagination. EditSynopsis After attending a friend’s wedding, Nagata Kabi decides she wants one of her own. That’s not the only thing she wants—she longs to love and be loved. But she has three major problems: she has no partner, no dating experience, and her only sexual encounters are limited to a lesbian escort service. With the help of a photoshoot, a dating app, and more, the author embarks on a journey to seek the love and happiness she so desperately desires. More like 2.5. I receive the newsletter for the publisher that puts these books out and immediately bought this. *sigh* 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.
