Reviews with content warning for Eating disorder - さびしすぎてレズ風俗に行きましたレポ

Darker than I expected, but this really hit home somewhere deep inside me. Some aspects of the story were not handled in the best way in my opinion, but I appreciate the rawness and storytelling of the author and wish I could give her a hug <3

I really don’t have many words for this book except that it was exceptionally good.

The author brings the readers through her lived experience and while I am fortunate that parts of it are not relatable (the author talk about her eating disorder and her depression), there were parts of it that touched me deeply and made me cry multiple times throughout.

It reminds me a lot of Are You My Mother? by Alison Bechdel in that this graphic novel is autobiographical and touches on certain psychological theories, but as a Freudian psychology hater I was not a fan of that (though unlike Bechdel’s novel, Freudian psychology in this graphic novel is explored briefly and once).

Although this book is not one I would recommend to many, I will say that it did come to me specifically at the right time.

Very short but I enjoyed it for what it is though I hope Japan legalizes same sex marriage soon for Nagata’s sake and frankly that she joins a book club or lgbt group and makes some friends lol

Heads up the book start off very explicitly talking about her self harm (cutting), ratings disorders (binge eating and anorexia) if those are sensitive topics and she has mom issues tripped up in her lonely romantic/sexual life (tho I agree with her it was tied to her trying to stay childish to get more parental love/unconditional love esp of a parent then anything else) I feel like might be sensitive topic for many.

Also the book ngl made very grateful about the quality of sex education I had formally and informally and even my sex education didn’t mention the clitoris at all being a thing while telling us about particular glands that helped cis men get off vs everything for “girls” was about pregnancy outside of my teachers being feminist enough to say the hymen and idea you can tell if a woman is Virgin is bullshit
