My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Before The Incident

Hilarious, when I told my mom I finally got a job, only part time, she said the exact same thing. Told me to start looking for a real job, because the part time was clearly temporary. And I take back my previous statement from the past chapter, it seems they were pretty supportive, I still hope they'll be accepting of their child's lesbian experience. Oh and wow, she has/had? friends, now I don't know if she's in a worse or better position than I am. And finally a fetish I can understand. MILF's are seriously under-represented in manga (not doujins), I don't get the japanese obsession with weird archetypes like tsundere, loli, and gyaru, I mean their obsession with high-school frankly strikes me as Unhealthy. I for one would be happy if I never had anything to do with a high school or anything related to a high school ever again.

@gevudan I think the high school obsession is because a lot of the target audience is in high school or started reading it when they where in high school, so the authors want to create something the readers can relate to on some level. Or at least that's what I understand from all the stuff I've looked at and been told from when I was an aspiring writer. It didn't work out, after being rejected so many times I just gave up, but after seeing this I might just try again.

This manga is scary, way too scary, there is only two difference between this character and me, she's a woman and the fact she clings to her mother. otherwise, this 99% my life, I began working part-time as a cashier, got some good jobs I couldn't keep, finally a very good paying job that I quit due to depression, and now I work part-time in a pizzeria, with good people I can't fill the gap between us, and it's a job that is killing my back and neck.

So... do I need to have lesbian sex to heal up? That might be why I like yuri so much...

>This manga is scary, way too scary
Amen, this manga has no right being so real. Having a mental breakdown reading this manga...

This girl’s parents did an utter shit job at supporting their daughter, but at least they seemed to have no bad intentions and let her stay with them. Don’t know enough about them, but surely they should have picked up on their own daughter’s mental condition after she lived with them for years...?

i came here to see a girl fall in love; now it's 2 am and i'm having an introspective crisis

@GrimThoughts
I see what you mean, but i believe that Japanese values to tend to focus more on people getting a job, moving out, and getting a reliable source of income, essentially theres a lot larger stress on people becoming independent and self sufficient, so i guess its normal for her parents to be disappointed by her? not sure

that page 30....... she just like me fr..................

There’s only 38 pages but the raw sincerity and especially the shit that is relatable like your parents fucking up your dreams little by little involuntarily, makes the read longer than it actually is 😔

Parents did quite shitty job of being parents. Granted they hadn't malicious intentions, but still they did quite the damage by being this neglectful. The father expecially by telling her to find a real job (implying her efforts weren't enough and not worthy of consideration) did a huge damage, exactly when she was extremly vulnerable while trying to compose back her life.
I wont talk about recognition of the issues, many people try to put a mask with parents or other close people, and while this doesn't seem the case it's still her POV, so we don't know wethever the depiction are what actually happened or a depiction of her mental state during the events (limited to when she was with the parents , other parts are clearly real). Also for what I understand in Japan there is still a social stigma about mental issue problems. My country still have a quite strong stigma for it, albeit things are better then 10 or 15 years ago, expecially after the pandemic lockdown, so often milder, less evident or intermiottent symptoms aren't diagnosed (like my own anxiety, luckly milder enought to still allow me to function and it's basically only triggered by major events (exams for example) ).
I do hope that her parents didn't know about her anorexy and the load of other symptoms her malnutrition were causing in chapter 1. Becouse if they did know and didn't bring her to the hospital stright away at 38kg wiith unhealing cuts and skin cracks, yellow sweats and co, then they gain some position on the asshole scale

i wont agree on the mom part (seems a bit weird to me..) but this again hit hard.

 

[Hell12]

She's a mentally ill girl with no one to support her, she's pretty bonkers but I feel sorry for her

 

[eirianrobotto]

I'm excited for her to have this potentially life changing experience.
