    Yeah the, uh what do they call them collectively? My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness, Solo Exchange Diary Vol 1 and 2, My Alcoholic Escape From Reality, My Wandering Warrior Existence... oh shit and there are two more now. Anyway yeah I would wager you'd like em if you like this, same vibe, the Kabi manga is similarly heavy subject matter but maybe a bit less harrowing?

    Also if you read something cool, whatever it may be, I am curious ✨

      Thanks, it's nice to have people to read with and talk.

      I can't believe how much I've shifted over time. 5 years ago, 3 years ago... Maybe even 1 year ago? I would have found reading like this so boring. Sometimes I'll even be halfway through a story and think, "why are you even reading this? You're trying too hard to convince yourself you're queer."

      And then I finish it, and I'm like "oh my god, this was a formative experience." To actually feel something from reading, even negative feelings, is pretty incredible. And I'm feeling these things from people simply sharing their life experiences.

      It's been nice

        Ofc, and I feel the same ✨

        Congrats on convincing yourself that you are queer!!! I actually sort of relate to this though? I wasn't much into reading prior to transition and even the queer books I read before I came out didn't do much for me, Nevada's talons aside. I kind of read for emotional catharsis now though, if I come away from a queer story not feeling anything, something fucked up. It is nice.

          I would like to clarify that I didn't actually need convincing. I needed understanding and acceptancemadeline-smug
