My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness

Nagata Kabi’s autobiographical manga, published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment since 2017, chronicles her raw journey through mental illness, social isolation, and the tentative discovery of her sexuality. Translated by Jocelyne Allen and Lianne Sentar, this single-volume work uses stark, confessional art to explore the author's struggles with depression and her first steps toward intimacy. A landmark in the "lesbian experience" genre, it resonates for its unflinching honesty about loneliness and self-acceptance.
