3.0

The art was pretty, the character designs were cool, the plot was...look, the candy bar doesn't make any real sense. There's no explanation given, it just kinda happens. But that works, because the whole point of the story isn't the plot, it's about the emotional journey the Mindy goes on, so I didn't need an explanation. It was also cool to read about an eating disorder which wasn't anorexia nervosa (a very relevant and important thing to learn about, its just. nice to read about others too). The scene with the therapist his like a truck.

The dynamic between Mindy and her parents was interesting, the way they've most definitely caused this to some extent but they also love her and care for her and didn't want to hurt her or want this for her.


As a story, it's not incredible, but the content manner was handled well, so 3 stars.
