My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness

Another manga review for today's post: My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness by Nagata Kabi. I read it around the same time that I read My Brother's Husband, and while both deal with gay characters, it was a completely different experience. While My Brother's Husband dealt with some serious issues, it was also heartwarming and had its share of humor. My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness was a compelling story, but it was also difficult (emotionally, that is) to read because it describes such a raw, personal, and painful experience. And given that it's an autobiographical story, you have the weird, almost guilty sensation of feeling like you're reading someone's diary. (Or maybe that's just me?)
