![]() ![]() Would recommend to anyone interested in LGBTQ experiences, portrayals of mental illness, and high-quality graphic novels. I most appreciate how Kabi discusses the difficulty of her struggles as well as how she recovered from them, walking us through how she navigated her sexuality and reclaimed her self-worth.Ī quick and worthwhile read. ![]() ![]() The combination of words and images draws you into the moment with her and gives her story an extra touch of authenticity and realism. Kabi addresses a wide range of important topics, including her sexuality, depression, eating disorders, family strife, and her feeling of not belonging anywhere. It strikes me as a more self-reflective and self-focused version of Alison Bechdel's Fun Home whereas Bechdel pulls apart the underlying mechanisms of her family, Nagata Kabi shines a light on the inner-workings of her own mind. I love the vulnerability of this graphic novel. ![]()
