In Clothes Called Fat

In In Clothes Called Fat (2014–present, Vertical), creator Moyoco Anno delivers a searing, single-volume manga that dissects body image, self-esteem, and toxic relationships through the story of a young office worker trapped in a cycle of emotional abuse and disordered eating. Published in English by Vertical, this standalone graphic novel is a raw, psychologically acute work from a celebrated shōjo and josei manga artist, notable for its unflinching look at the internal and external pressures women face. It matters as a compact, powerful entry in Anno's oeuvre, offering a stark, empathetic portrait of a woman struggling to reclaim her sense of self.
