That's not to say that she doesn't struggle with coming to terms with her orientation and even her gender to a degree, but the majority of the book is about her trying (and occasionally succeeding) to cope with her depression and anxiety issues. The biggest reason of all may just be the fact that Kabi's experiences may be more universal than a lot of people would like to admit.ĭespite what the title may suggest, this is not so much a story about coming out as it is a story about coping with mental illness. Another reason may be that this sort of raw, confessional sort of story is something that we seldom see outside of the western independent comic scene. Some of it may have to do with its origins as a webcomic and thus removed to some degree from the conventions of everyday manga. There's a couple reasons that I believe explain why My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness is making such mark outside of manga circles. Is this act the solution to her problems or just the beginning of another personal revelation? So, she hires a lesbian escort to help her take care of things.
After a lot of rumination and lifestyle changes, she decides that perhaps part of the problem is that she craves physical affection but has never had sex. This autobiographical tale covers the author's descent into depression and anxiety issues when life after high-school leaves her feeling adrift and desperate for the approval of others.
