Oct 25 Yearning Teens, Frustrated Romance, Pretty Skies — Is There Anything Else to Makoto Shinkai? The most recent book in Nagata Kabi's autobiographical series is, for me, the least impactful so far. It's not that it isn't still revelatory for her as she tries to navigate the idea of relationships and dating, but it's far more pedestrian than previous books. I think part of the reason this book felt less substantial is that previous books were startling in both their honesty and the scope of the issues she explored. I think more people have an understanding how the difficulties of dating and navigating meeting people goes, so there is less surprising material here. Even more so then usual, this personal narrative is highly focused on just one person. So not exactly a rainbow of diversity across the various axis I generally try and talk about. There's also what people want to disclose and label or not label about themselves. But I continue to find myself pretty interested in Kabi's offbeat and stress filled life, even while I really hoping their life calms down a bit and maybe for them to not have anything more to write about any more.Alessandro Cappuccio’s art for the series is SO COOL!!! While you’re waiting for the upcoming Disney+ show, definitely don’t miss out on this run! Nagata Kabi ( Japanese: 永田カビ, Hepburn: Nagata Kabi, pen name; born May 28, 1987 [1]) is a Japanese manga artist, author of My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness. John Lewis was a personal hero of mine- his death broke my heart. He was one of the most powerful change agents this country has ever known. I hope you’ll give MARCH a read and commit to causing good trouble in his memory.

Content warning: The book (with warning beforehand) briefly describes a sexual assault the author experienced as a child. What makes Kabi Nagata’s stories so unique is their blunt and raw approach in a way unusual in fiction coming from Japan. This is another fantastic autobiography by Nagata Kabi, but there's one major problem. The translation. A lot of the phrasing and word choices are very clearly Americanized, and that can take me out of what's supposed to be the authors personal thoughts and feelings. I could be wrong, but I have a strong feeling that a lot of the terms for gender and sexuality they use don't have Japanese equivalents so a lot of it felt off. Aside from that, there's not much else to complain about. It's admirable how personal the author is willing to get when discussing dark and uncomfortable subject matters that Very little actual action happens in this particular series. It mostly consists of the author mulling things over, contemplating why fe's different from other people, and philosophizing. The most off-the-wall instance of armchair psychology is probably when the author suggests that everybody is naturally attracted to womenand that people who are attracted to men grow into that attraction (ch. 5). Though I suppose that this idea of mothers beingthe initial object of sexual interest is essentially just the Oedipus Complex (...not that the Oedipus Complexis actually empirically supported or all that trustworthy of a theory). Fe also creates a whole framework of hurdles that have to be overcome (with several of those hurdles being either irrelevant, in all honesty, or kinda redundant), only to then discard that entire framework in the very next chapter. This series really took me by surprise! A seemingly shy girl secretly spends her days tweeting about a fantasy relationship with the most popular boy in school (who doesn’t know she exists). He seems like the ideal dreamboat, except it turns out he’s a rude brat! This story is filled with characters who turn the classic shoujo tropes on their heads, and it’s really refreshing to see friendships and romances form between characters that are flawed, but ultimately very likeable.There's some important lessons in here, though one could also say they are pretty common sense, and therefore maybe not so revelatory in themselves. This book is less a tale of events than an essay about the search for love. One event does get narrated, a sexual assault that occurred when she was eight, and this stands out, but almost nothing else really happens except a remarkable focus on her identity in various nodes. The "triggering" event for Nagata is attending--for the first time!--a friend's wedding, and wondering why she can't have that, too, this love thang. She had doubted it really existed, sent a query out to her internet followers, who confirmed that yes, indeed, love is possible. Of course she gets a lot of "likes" and finds, with the help of her friends, that she is being seen as easy to "get." What to do? How can one meet someone one might fall in love with? This seems like a cute question for someone who is ten, but Nagata is in her thirties. Feels anguished, of course, though we know she is not alone to be lonely in her thirties, or at any time.
