My Wandering Warrior Existence (My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness)

Product Information

Keywords that come to mind reading this instalment were love, deconstruction, intimacy, harm, growing up, sexuality and gender. Very little actual action happens in this particular series. It mostly consists of the author mulling things over, contemplating why fe's different from other people, and philosophizing. The most off-the-wall instance of armchair psychology is probably when the author suggests that everybody is naturally attracted to womenand that people who are attracted to men grow into that attraction (ch. 5). Though I suppose that this idea of mothers beingthe initial object of sexual interest is essentially just the Oedipus Complex (...not that the Oedipus Complexis actually empirically supported or all that trustworthy of a theory). Fe also creates a whole framework of hurdles that have to be overcome (with several of those hurdles being either irrelevant, in all honesty, or kinda redundant), only to then discard that entire framework in the very next chapter.

Skip and Loafer is the ultimate comfort read. How can you deny that face of country girl Mitsumi? She has the most amazing facial expressions. She is a mess, a bit over-the-top, but smart and ambitious. She goes to Tokyo with her hopes and dreams and approaches the world in her own way. She is a BOSS, but still in high school. If you’re looking for a fun and wholesome read with endearing characters, go out and read it especially before the anime comes out! And while chaos and crises is something that Nagata is perhaps known for, it was nice to read about her for about 75% of the book going through confusion that did not involve something life threatening or self harming. That said, except for the part in the middle that covers Nagata's experience of childhood sexual assault. As I was reading, I immediately regretted my decision and wondered if I should've tried a sample first. Although I had greatly enjoyed her first manga, and mostly enjoyed its sequel - I had to DNF her recent book about her drinking problem that caused her to get pancreatitis. I just couldnt find it engaging and there was nothing there for me to latch onto. 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.Add to list At 30, I Realized I Had No Gender: Life Lessons From a 50-Year-Old After Two Decades of Self-Discovery A seaside love story! The first volume was all about Shun and Mio figuring out themselves and their feelings, and now they’re traveling to Hokkaido as a couple to visit Shun’s estranged family. Painful and sweet in equal turns, this is a must-read for older fans of queer love stories. 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. 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...

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. 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. Diario di una guerriera single però mostra anche come bisogna conoscere e accettare se stessi prima ancora di pensare all’amore. Kabi Nagata si trova a pensare al suo genere e orientamento sessuale, le sue esperienze, raccontate nei volumi precedenti, con le donne e perché si sente attratta da loro. Si trova però difronte a degli ostacoli che servono per identificare “il tipo di persona che ci piace”. Ostacoli e domande alle quali non è facile dare una risposta diretta e sicura. Anzi, l’autrice chiede a se stessa, e forse anche a chi la legge, se è necessario superare questi ostacoli o bisogna distruggerli come le etichette che spesso creano non unione ma divisione. An interesting read, although for better or worse it is more of what we have come to expect style and content wise. A lot I could relate to, it still left me with a question or two.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. Recensione scritta per il sito Nerd Pool e che trovate qui sotto e al seguente link: https://www.nerdpool.it/2022/11/05/di... She spends the rest of this manga wondering how come she’s so broken, why she fears human beings to such an extent, even those she’s come to know reasonably well, and why she’s unable to understand other people’s motives. She opens up about her issues regarding gender identity: she doesn’t like being a woman (“I don’t like breasts, bras or periods, and I wear men’s underwear”), but she doesn’t want to be a man. She admits that she isn’t even sure if she’s a lesbian (to be fair, despite the title of her first autobiographical manga, ‘My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness’, her being a lesbian was incidental there); she considers that maybe she chose to visit lesbian prostitutes because she’s more comfortable among women, but that it may not speak much about her sexual preferences.
