A review by elenavarg
Talk to My Back by Yamada Murasaki
4.0
(3,5 stars)
The story really made me feel for thw protagonist and I could relate to her feelings about motherhood and her children, but her relationship with her husband only made me frustrated. I ended up exclaiming ”divorce is an option!” (I know, it was very much more complicated than that in Japan in the 1980s, but the sentiment still stands) multiple times when reading the comic.
I really like Yamada’s art style and can’t wait to pick up her other works.
