My Wandering Warrior Existence (My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness)

Product Information

The authoress is still dealing with recovering post her alcohol episode and finding a new fascination in her life. This new autobiographical manga is similar in that it is literally a stream of consciousness with no depth. The author muses briefly about her gender identity, and how wedding gowns are gendered. This fly by approach is also taken in regards to her sexual orientation, and if she wants to have grandkids (and wondering if her parents might want grandkids). 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. Anyway, this newest manga starts with Kabi wanting to do a photoshoot of herself wearing a wedding dress; she’s aware that she’ll likely never marry, and her mother had expressed a desire to see her in a wedding dress, so that’s what she does. During the shoot, though, Kabi grows increasingly depressed as she realizes how sad the whole thing (and her life) has become, although her mother is loving it; she’s taking photos of her own with her personal camera. Nonetheless, it is a much lighter and more hopeful than the previous volumes; and, that alone is a reassuring progress.

And while chaos and crises is something that Nagata is perhaps known for, it was nice to read about her for about 75% of the book going through confusion that did not involve something life threatening or self harming. That said, except for the part in the middle that covers Nagata's experience of childhood sexual assault. She seems to have had a really sheltered life. It’s actually news to her that two people could genuinely fall in love with each other and that this is the basis of a number of weddings and lifelong partnerships. “Love is real” - who knew that could blow any adult’s mind? This is my fourth of five autobiographical manga I have read by Kabi Nagata. As with some other autobiographical or memoir comics artists, she seems to be--book after book--chronicling her life, as it goes, book after book. I think of three people immediately to compare this work to: Lucy Knisley, Michael Rabagliati, and Keiler Roberts, though there are many more. This series stands out in that the work is easily the most intense, the most explicitly troubled. Not without occasional self-deprecating humor--she knows she is unlike most people--Nagata is ruthlessly honest about her various life struggles. A seaside love story! The first volume was all about Shun and Mio figuring out themselves and their feelings, and now they’re traveling to Hokkaido as a couple to visit Shun’s estranged family. Painful and sweet in equal turns, this is a must-read for older fans of queer love stories. My lesbian experience with loneliness" and "my solo exchange diary" are interesting works for two reasons: first, they are willing to take risks, because the author is unafraid of her flaws in the moment of writing-- clearly both works were made in a similar time frame and are completely drenched in the strength of the scathing feelings of Kabi-sensei towards herself, others, and her life. Secondly, both books are brilliantly drawn, especially "My solo exchange diary". Now, this is interesting, I think, because you can see the quality of the art drops sharply in the second volume, along with Kabi-sensei's mental and physical health. On a surface level this reflects the mind of the author, but on a deeper level I think this is recognizable as an artistic risk. Here, even at a low point, Kabi-sensei continues to express, even though she knows the drawings are not as good as they used to be. As an artist and author I can admire that Kabi-sensei is willing to expose herself in "My solo exchange diary"'s second volume, because that takes an extraordinary amount of courage. You can lambast Kabi-sensei if you want for "selling her life" or "selling her family" in her memoirs, but I see "Exchange diary"'s second volume as a hallmark of artistic persistence. The simple art is completed regardless of Kabi's failing mental health. The simple art is shared even though it is not Kabi's best. and Kabi maintains the potential for momentum.

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! Keywords that come to mind reading this instalment were love, deconstruction, intimacy, harm, growing up, sexuality and gender. The way Nagata is left deconstructing the entire concept of love felt so incredibly relatable in a way I've only started seeing. Then of course we have the continued exploration of Kabi's gender and sexuality journey. Diario di una guerriera single però mostra anche come bisogna conoscere e accettare se stessi prima ancora di pensare all’amore. Kabi Nagata si trova a pensare al suo genere e orientamento sessuale, le sue esperienze, raccontate nei volumi precedenti, con le donne e perché si sente attratta da loro. Si trova però difronte a degli ostacoli che servono per identificare “il tipo di persona che ci piace”. Ostacoli e domande alle quali non è facile dare una risposta diretta e sicura. Anzi, l’autrice chiede a se stessa, e forse anche a chi la legge, se è necessario superare questi ostacoli o bisogna distruggerli come le etichette che spesso creano non unione ma divisione.

Seven Seas Licenses Nagata Kabi’s MY WANDERING WARRIOR

In this gritty isekai a group of strangers must work together after they all suddenly wake up with amnesia in a fantasy world. The characters are so well developed that you get highly invested in them and are truly afraid for their survival. Recensione scritta per il sito Nerd Pool e che trovate qui sotto e al seguente link: https://www.nerdpool.it/2022/11/05/di... So, for starters, Kabata arranges, with the support of her parents, to be professionally photographed in an elaborate ballroom-stye wedding dress, a bizarre event that not surprisingly leaves her sad. Why do that?! But the point is one Nagata has not thought about before Why can't I have love?! The dress for many symbolizes love, but she begins with the dress!

Bendis & Maleev are one of the best creative teams in comics and this collection gathers their Moon Knight run, which really explores some of the psychological problems that Marc Spector has struggled with throughout his time as a superhero. She spends the rest of this manga wondering how come she’s so broken, why she fears human beings to such an extent, even those she’s come to know reasonably well, and why she’s unable to understand other people’s motives. She opens up about her issues regarding gender identity: she doesn’t like being a woman (“I don’t like breasts, bras or periods, and I wear men’s underwear”), but she doesn’t want to be a man. She admits that she isn’t even sure if she’s a lesbian (to be fair, despite the title of her first autobiographical manga, ‘My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness’, her being a lesbian was incidental there); she considers that maybe she chose to visit lesbian prostitutes because she’s more comfortable among women, but that it may not speak much about her sexual preferences. 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. This is a title I haven’t read, but repeatedly came up in any conversation I’ve had about undiscovered gems the past few years. Mark Russell is a rising name in the comics world and I’m very interested in grabbing this deluxe hardcover. The social anxiety and instabilities are still strong within this autobiographical comic essay (the fourth such series from this author). It can be hard to tell how much of this is an accurate reflection of what happened and how much of it is narrative flourishes to make it more entertaining for readers (like, I'm pretty sure some of these emoting panels are exaggerations at the very least).

What makes Kabi Nagata’s stories so unique is their blunt and raw approach in a way unusual in fiction coming from Japan. She also discovers (thankfully before she has any) that having kids doesn’t necessarily solve all family problems automatically, which, again, duh, but to her, of course, was a lightbulb moment. I think she’s in her 30s. I guess for me the entire manga felt disjointed and shallow. Maybe she could've included some research she did on the various topics she was thinking about, people she spoke to, or even revealed any insights she had had while in therapy. Anything substantive!

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. Content notes for childhood sexual assault (Kabi includes a trigger warning and instructions on how to skip this section in the book as well) and some nudity elsewhere. Her wounds lead her into realizations long buried in her psych; the more she gorge into them, the deeper the enlightenment .

My two boys love to invent creative “detective missions” to solve around the house, and I feel like this is the perfect little book to put in their hands for them to enjoy and spark their imagination. Skip and Loafer is the ultimate comfort read. How can you deny that face of country girl Mitsumi? She has the most amazing facial expressions. She is a mess, a bit over-the-top, but smart and ambitious. She goes to Tokyo with her hopes and dreams and approaches the world in her own way. She is a BOSS, but still in high school. If you’re looking for a fun and wholesome read with endearing characters, go out and read it especially before the anime comes out! A boy leaves his home planet for the first time in search for adventure and to learn more about a mysterious power that he and few others in the Galaxy can wield like a weapon. It’s Star Wars meets Fairy Tail (also created by Hiro Mashima), but if Princess Leia was a Youtuber and Chewbacca was a cat named Happy. The sequel to My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness, My Solo Exchange Diary (Japanese: 一人交換日記, Hitori kōkan nikki), was published in Japanese later in the same year, 2016, and in English in 2018. While continuing to explore the themes of My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness, My Solo Exchange Diary is based on the concept of diary entries or letters that Nagata exchanges with her former and future self. [3] Its second volume, titled My Solo Exchange Diary 2 (一人交換日記2) was released in Japanese in 2017 and in English in 2019. Starting with the positives, I will probably always have a soft spot for people flailing through life. Well, unless they are being a menace to society and hurting people...I was kind of surprised to see so many people rate this manga so highly. It's nowhere near as good as her debut, and even if you're unfamiliar with her work, I dont see how this volume would make you want to read anything else she's written.
