5 stars

Super relatable to anyone who wonders about their place in the world and deals with depression and anxiety. The autobiographical nature is appealing and the art style is charming. The struggles of figuring out the taboo of sex and gender especially in societies where sex is generally not discussed at all. The disconnect and stunt in personal growth is familiar to anyone who has had to endure cold yet overbearing parents.

This was my second time reading it, so it was interesting to see how different my relation to the story would be. It is still remarkably relatable and touching. If you are going through some hard times or you know someone who is, then maybe the author's experiences with her own difficulties of trying to connect with people and fulfill social expectations will give some insight.

While it already won a bunch of awards, I still think it's not known widely enough, especially outside the anime/manga sphere.
