She can’t seem to get out of bed on most days or even eat, spiraling Kabi into a terrible eating disorder. After leaving college, Kabi tries to hold down part-time jobs, but her anxiety and depression get in the way. Living at home as a 28 year old may not be anyone’s dream, but sometimes that’s where life drops us. These books illustrate Kabi’s experience as an adult navigating life as a Japanese college dropout living at home with her parents. Kabi does NOT hold back when discussing her bouts of anxiety, sexual frustrations, awkward and unhealthy familial bond, and of course loneliness. As graphic memoirs are trending, especially ones written and drawn by webcomic artists, Nagata Kabi’s My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness and her sequel, My Solo Exchange Diary, stand out as queer stories with quite a bit of frankness.
