I can certainly understand why a more sympathetic reader, particularly one who perhaps also suffered from depression or binge behaviors, would find it more rewarding to share this experience with Nagata Kabi. I read a lot of that sort of thing in the 90s (only it was by guys and published as indie comics, not manga), so perhaps my tolerance for that kind of story has been exceeded. It’s not very visually interesting - mostly background-less sketchy figures - and I found the constant “my life is terrible and no one loves me” repetitive and emotionally overwhelming. To start, I should reveal that I couldn’t make it through My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness. It’s a collection of short chapters - twelve, labeled as diary entries, each 10-14 pages - about living alone and becoming a comic creator as a career. My Solo Exchange Diary is the sequel to the much-awarded My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness by Nagata Kabi.
