My Solo Exchange Diary Vol. 2 (My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness)

I like this manga artist a lot. I love the messy, but real look to the art. I love how truthful, honest, raw, brave, and powerful her writing is. I love the diary style. I can relate to a lot of her inner emotions, especially towards her mother, and she was written a lot of things I was too embarrassed to ever admit, and I want her to know I'm thankful for that, it made me feel less alone. I bought 3 of her books so far, and plan to buy more.

Bueno

Such a good read! I read the book in just one sitting and couldn’t put it down. With the same tone as the previous two books, the author tells of her hardships and wins with light-hearted humour, brutal honesty and openness. Following her journey, I can’t help but cheer her on.I think I’ll give all the books a read through again.

I love Nagata Kabi's work, her drawings are simple and clear which makes the storytelling so effective. She really puts you in her shoes, not shying away from the bad and the ugly. Her story isn't hopeless though, shes growing and is able to make a living from the bad times and make sense of things in a way that suits her. Everytime I finish one of her books it makes me reflect on my own life and relationships and it makes me grateful for what I have and who I have. I deeply appreciate her having the courage to put her struggles out there on paper to the public and I hope one day she is able to achieve daily happiness and satsifaction.

After reading the first 2 books I've decided to buy anything you write, we are almost the same age so hopefully I'll read you for many more years. Even the 2 book that haven't been released, I bought them already, and I'm excited to read them! This is the only way I can share my love for you and your work. Please keep it up!

My Solo Exchange Diary Vol. 2 covers the author's life post-book deal of her first released manga My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness as she grapples with the residual aftermath of her parent's opinions of her first manga as well as battling crippling depression and loneliness that appears to remain a constant in her life.Nagata offers a real, and heartfelt, look into the jaws of depressions and presents it to the world in a tolerable pink-and-white cartoon fashion.Likes:- Nagata's openness to putting some of her deepest and darkest concerns down on paper with the bravery and releasing that information into the world for other's to digest.- Nagata's honesty with divulging the admittance into a hospital for help as well as being able to communicate that it was difficult and at times she did consider sabotaging herself to escape.- Nagata's realization that she does have family, friends and the hospital staff that display genuine concern about her mental, emotional and physical health and wellbeing.Dislikes:- Nagata herself mentioned that she believed she had been overly critical of her family and friends in the previous mangas. In this novel, Nagata seems to repetitively, and excessively, discuss her family and friends as a support system. To me personally, it felt more like she was trying to counter-act the previous remarks she made against her family rather than praising them for their support and contribution to her life and wellbeing.Overall, it made for another interesting read and great addition to the collection that Nagata has put out thus far.Also, the little add-on of Chiki-Chan's Depression at the end was a nice touch!

I've read diary-like comics/manga like this on the web over the years. They can be painfully honest, and I wonder how the writers fared after their creations, one by one, abruptly stopped. I read her first book last year after I heard some LGBTQ buzz and was curious about what that would be like in a culture like Japan. I was in awe of her honesty, although I felt she was holding some things back (and she should IMO). Now this book goes further than the first and delves more into her mental illnesses. I don't want to spoil it but, you do have to think that maybe this is another "Anne Heche" kind of story. I hope she writes another. I hope she gets help. As long as she stays alive I'll be happy.

The heartwrenching story continue for our author with her challenge with depression, loniness, her family and alchoholism. Showing that depression is an ongoing battle as the author laid all out. It is heartwrenching, but relatable, and gives a better appreciation of how important it is to have support. If you love her previous books, this is definetely a must buy.

Love Kabi nagata’s work.

Se vi piacevano le opere precedenti della stessa autrice è un acquisto sicuro.

Genial, la historia esta buenisima y el producto llego en perfectas condiciones, recomendado.

It always helps me a lot to read stories like that. Thank you so much for sharing this!

This is the third volume and in my eyes the best.Nada is a lesbian who has trouble having relationships. This is described in the first volume. She wants independence - that's the second volume and now both come back to bit her. Its so well drawn and written as an autobiography by the writer. That takes courage and its a good read though I would not suggest reading the book if you are depressed.
