Amazing, this is going on my list of manga I must buy physical volumes of to go on the bookshelf that I'll get once I make enough cash. A great story about living life that I'd recommend to anyone not just otaku.

 

[DracoInduperator]

@gevudan IKR? If I ever find a copy and have the money I'd buy it in a heartbeat. It's a good story, I feel it really shows that growing up is hard and not everyone is the same. It's really kinda inspirational.

You could probably find this at a Kinokuniya, think I saw it at the Seattle store once, here are their locations:

this was such a good story

I LOVE how she discusses the impact yaoi has on her understanding of sex and relationships as a queer.

Most works in the Yaoi genre won't teach you how healthy relationships work. This goes for gay girls, boys, non-binary folks, and even straight people. It's straight-up fantasy and wish-fulfillment (save for VEEEEERRRY few mangaka who are actually capable of delivering realistic relationships)

 

[themanthemyth]

how quaint :]

 

[SoapyPetal]

this was amazing!

 

[sam3h3ll]

What an amazing read!
Hope she found happiness at last.

 

[maxi-sword]

Great

In Search Of The Lost Hymen sounds like a Proustian endeavour

The Yaoi genre is, at best, a sex fest with deeper discussion about sexuality as a background.

Good and short. Good read

Living in a world where there is no hope in sight, it is understandable to just cut to the chase and give up, still it is nice that the author was able to find their hope, for those of us who are still searching for it, there is always the present to make that life changing decision.

 

[splatsoni]

i felt really represented while reading this. probably the most realistic gl manga there is.

 

[enstoblue]

oh man i feel so proud and happy for her

 

[bcc33010]

Glad for her found that sweet nectar. Hope I would find mine soon.

 

[radthezero]

Bro. I ain't even queer and I think this is what I needed to read right now. Nagata-sensei, thank you. I think I'll go ahead and find my own sweet nectar again!

 

[eirianrobotto]

What an ending. Bravo.

Hope y'all find your sweet nectars too.

"And the times when I couldn't go on where just my failure to value and take care of myself."

"But actually getting on with living our own lives takes something completely different, something we have to learn by ourselves."

I think the main thing I got from this is that she was in a real bad place but she's getting better. The whole 'living up to your parents expectations' is clearly a big thing in Japan then, seeing as that was something I was never going to do that's never been an issue for me
