She has to face adulthood she is not ready for. The story starts as soon as she leaves high school. The narration is fragmented, following her thoughts but sometimes leaving the reader behind. It is not an easy task to describe what Nagata goes through in My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness. But page after page, the narrative almost feels like small talk with a close friend. The blunt writing style contrasts with the cute, pink-dominated visuals, which can disorient the reader at first. My lesbian experience with loneliness is an autobiographical comic about depression, inadequacy, and sexuality. For her, this comic was the beginning of an intimate revolution: the revolution of self-discovery and self-acceptance of Nagata herself. Nor that it would have a significant impact on its genre. When 29-years-old Kabi Nagata published her first manga in 2016, My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness, she had no idea it would win two awards ( Crunchyroll Anime Award in 2017 and Harvey Award in 2018).
