Damn, that's tough, suffering from eating disorders, yet having no one around that's understanding about that sort of thing. It kind of demonstrates how unhealthy of a society that has developed in Japan. Too much focus on grades, fitting in, and work. I feel that these sort of focuses are particularly harmful to youth resulting in the problems we see now. I too suffer similar problems: social anxiety, inability to make friends, and unable to find a place to fit in. Still, I am considerably more lucky than her, I got through college and have a supportive and understanding family, which makes a big difference in these things. Wonder how the author's family would feel reading this manga, ashamed of themselves for not being more supportive of her or ashamed of their daughter engaging in a lesbian experience? I sincerely hope the former.

I get where she's coming from I had a period in my life where I has severe depression and anxiety (still have the anxiety but not as bad), and even years later I still haven't fully recovered from the harm my eating disorder caused me.

 

[DracoInduperator]

Is she saying that the cuts she has on her arms is from self cutting or did is it from where she was saying that she'd get cuts and tears and they wouldn't heal? I'm a little confused ...

 

[iDiarkis]

@DracoInduperator pretty sure the cuts on her arms are self inflicted and then she had cracks on her hands that didn't heal

 

[DracoInduperator]

@iDiarkis okay thanks for clearing that up!

Sadly, that's how the World getting rid of weaklings. I'm feeling so bad for this one.

 

[BuggleBallugles]

I was in her position once but got out of it 3-4 months later, cause let's say the world I live in understands people like me more and are more willing to help than toss people like me aside though I cannot say that for everyone around me. It's always the people really, when we keep everything to ourselves everything else will eventually crumble until you're left with broken pieces you wonder how to or whether you should put back together.

this is extremely real and painful to read, as someone who is just about to be spat out into the world im so fucking scared

 

[nanakatsuchiya]

Omg, I'm crying right now, that's my situation.

 

[honeysun]

this is too real... the artstyle of the manga actually really fits its atmosphere...

 

[ElfWastaken]

I was expecting this to be a funny manga about becoming a lesbian or sth, but holy shit. this kinda hit a bit close since I was in this state for a short period, although not as bad as her tho, just tired of everything and hated myself

 

[chicagopiano]

The doctor really should have referred her to a psychiatrist. Medication won't fix the issue, they aren't literally 'happy pills', but work more like how paracetemol numbs physical pain.

 

[LaDeeDah]

Even the font kinda fits in with the vibe of this manga

 

[lluNhpelA]

That bit about rejection really hits home. pretty sure I'm in the "95% rejected already" camp

 

[splatsoni]

that hit hard. a bi/lesbian (still figuring myself out, lol) girl i didnt go thru stuff as bad as her, but there has been some times when i would go "why cant i be normal like the other girls? talk about boys?" whenever some of my friends say homophobic stuff id usually agree and then cry in the bathroom. i still cant accept i like girls (somewhat..somewhat like guys, too?? dunno) but i hope i will one day. it sucks not being happy with yourself

 

[SquashAuge]

Real

Oof... This is gonna be a hard read.
