Originally published on image sharing site pixiv, My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness swiftly became an underground success. Now in English, you too can thrill to the adventures of its heroine, who hires a call girl in an attempt to fight back against a debilitating quarter-life crisis. If you've ever dealt with anxiety, queerness, loneliness, bulimia, crappy jobs, fear of sex, fear of abandonment, or parents, there will be something in this book for you.
A truly tender and heartbreaking graphic novel about self and sexual discovery that does not read as gratuitous or exploitative in its depiction of lesbian love. Instead Maroh presents the narrative about these two women in love as one filled with the joy that accompanies rapturous love and the eventual devastation when it ends. Accompanied by equally moving artwork centered on the color blue, Maroh has created an intimate masterpiece worthy of inclusion among the great LGBTQ works in literature.
