My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness: 1

Very much worth a read, and great to see some honest representation. Heavier themes than I was expecting (such as self harm, suicide and eating disorders, I didn't do loads of research before buying so that's on me), but still humerous. Well written, beautifully illustrated, and funny and sad at the same time. An interesting story, and a relatable depiction of loneliness and dysfunction in day to day life. I have started the second book in the series, which is also very good so far and a bit lighter while remaining funny. A good comic that I was slightly unprepared for but thoroughly enjoyed, I look forward to reading the other volumes

Despite the attention-grabbing title and cover artwork, this is a comic which focuses primarily on highly relatable feelings of loneliness rather than gratuitous scenes of lesbian fun. It's a gritty, awkward tale steeped in uncomfortable truths about growing up in the modern world. The artist lays every single part of herself bare to share her experiences with the reader, depicting a world which will make onlookers wince and smile bitterly in equal measure. Please don't write it off as something only LGBTQ+ readers can enjoy, even though it's wonderful to see more serious material of that nature making it across to the UK. Whatever your personal preferences, this book takes a raw, intimate look at depression and is a valuable read for anyone who has ever felt that way growing up. The English print edition is well translated and printed in black and white with bold pink highlights, to create a striking standalone volume which will brighten up any (mature) bookshelf. One of my best buys in ages, highly recommended.

Although my struggles are nowhere near as bad as the author's experiences, there were parts of this story that really struck a chord with me. I could not recommend this story enough. As an autobiographical work, My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness is a difficult but rewarding read. Touching upon sexuality, loneliness, isolation, self-hatred, eating disorders and self harm, this is the struggle of a woman coming to terms with what she wants out of her life compared to the weight of expectations other people have of her. Although her life is still not perfect at the end of the novel, you can tell how much she has grown and learnt that it's okay to be her own person. That's something we should all keep in mind.

Great book! Came on time

The autobiography about a young woman who is depressed and trying hard to accept herself. I enjoyed the book,some parts were funny and some were sad i wanted to reach through the book and give the author a hug. I do hope she gets better and that her next book would be a story on how she found love. That said its a Japanese manga and its my first time reading manga on my phone so rhat was an intereting experience. The art was okay, it fits the purpose of the story. Overall it was good

This story is hilarious and heart warming. It's the first manga and only manga I've ever bought, and I reread it quite often. It never fails to make me cry, and it never fails to make me laugh. I don't think you have to be homosexual or depressed to relate to Kabi, I think everyone will be able to take some part of this story, and to keep it in mind when things get tough. I can't possibly recommend this enough!

I'm so happy to see someone who's gone through and overcome a battle very close to home for me, there is so much heart in this comic and the art is simple but lovely, and used brilliantly to aid the story

I've never related so much to a book. It is amazingly written and gives a brilliant insight into the struggles of sexuality and mental health problems. I highly recommend that you read it regardless of your sexuality, it is an amazing read!
