Anyway, this newest manga starts with Kabi wanting to do a photoshoot of herself wearing a wedding dress; she’s aware that she’ll likely never marry, and her mother had expressed a desire to see her in a wedding dress, so that’s what she does. During the shoot, though, Kabi grows increasingly depressed as she realizes how sad the whole thing (and her life) has become, although her mother is loving it; she’s taking photos of her own with her personal camera. Content notes for childhood sexual assault (Kabi includes a trigger warning and instructions on how to skip this section in the book as well) and some nudity elsewhere. Her wounds lead her into realizations long buried in her psych; the more she gorge into them, the deeper the enlightenment . She talks about her trust issues being at the root of why she’s so inexperienced with relationships, originating with a sexual assault when she was 6, which is understandable. But, I’m sorry, it’s so not interesting to read about someone figuring out how relationships work. She literally explains that people spending time with each other can learn about each other and, over time, develop feelings of affection for one another that can be called “love”. 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.Add to list At 30, I Realized I Had No Gender: Life Lessons From a 50-Year-Old After Two Decades of Self-Discovery Hans Rollmann (2018-08-16).

The summary is "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." I personally understand her jealousy and confusion over the love that other people share. As with my own musings on love, she goes in a circle. Being fine one second, and the next being unsure or sad. I almost thought she was going to realize she was aromantic, as she was perplexed about how one goes from the closeness of friendship to having romantic feelings. This has never been confusing to me, having experienced it a few times, but is in line with what I've heard from aromantic people. I thought what her fan wrote her about one-sided feelings was interesting. Something I want to think about more, since I'm not sure whether I agree fully. What makes Kabi Nagata’s stories so unique is their blunt and raw approach in a way unusual in fiction coming from Japan.The authoress is still dealing with recovering post her alcohol episode and finding a new fascination in her life.

Seven Seas Licenses Nagata Kabi's MY PANCREAS BROKE, BUT MY LIFE GOT BETTER Manga and MY LESBIAN EXPERIENCE WITH LONELINESS: SPECIAL EDITION Hardcover". Seven Seas Entertainment. 2023-03-22 . Retrieved 2023-04-30. 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. The newest diary manga from the Harvey Award-winning creator of My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness.

The most recent book in Nagata Kabi's autobiographical series is, for me, the least impactful so far. It's not that it isn't still revelatory for her as she tries to navigate the idea of relationships and dating, but it's far more pedestrian than previous books. I think part of the reason this book felt less substantial is that previous books were startling in both their honesty and the scope of the issues she explored. I think more people have an understanding how the difficulties of dating and navigating meeting people goes, so there is less surprising material here.
