While the subject matter is by no means light, this moving and honest slice of life will resonate with anyone who has questioned themselves or ever been conflicted in their lives. And let's face it: that is all of us. -- Judith Utz, Teen Vogue The self-discovery that follows is utterly fascinating. -- Abraham Riesman, Vulture Sheds light on the complicated emotional and mental dynamics involved in lesbian relationships. Her story is an open, honest, and deeply personal look at her struggles to fight back against her eating disorder, stop self-harming, and learn more about her sexuality. -- Ana Valens, The Mary Sue ...this is a comic that (a) treats sex workers with dignity and agency in a medium which has been historically unkind, (b) addresses very real themes of self-harm in a direct and honest way, and (c) adopts an attitude of complete acceptance of sexuality fluidity. -- Katie Skelly, The Comics Journal My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness is one of the most powerful manga I have ever read, and it all comes down to Nagata Kabi's openness and honesty. -- Nik Freeman, Anime News Network No question, absolutely, my pick this week is My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness , which was simply one of the best autobiographical manga I've read. -- Sean Gaffney, Manga Bookshelf A complicated play of gender and sexual identities that Nagata unbinds and sorts through with striking aesthetic aplomb. -- Shea Hennum, The A.

Awkward and wholly authentic, it is visually stunning, translating the nuance of emotion into heartbreaking graphics that tackle tough subject matter such as anxiety, substance use, self-esteem, female sexuality, and coming out all set against the backdrop of long standing societal and familial pressures. - Teen Vogue ...fans will be eager to check in on Kabi and cheer for her floundering movements toward happiness. - Publishers Weekly She may not realize it, but manga author Nagata Kabi is a voice for this generation. - Boston Bastard Brigade I will not type that this genre of visually exaggerated autobiographical comic is new, but instead that I haven't seen it expressed this way before.
