This intimate manga anthology is about the struggles and triumphs of individuals learning to navigate daily life with a developmental disorder. The comics follow the stories of nine people, including: a junior high dropout finding an alternate path to education; a former "troublesome" child helping kids at a support school; a so-called problem child realizing the beauty of his own unique quirks; and a man falling in love with the world with the help of a new medication. This inspiring volume illustrates their diverse anxieties and finding self-empowerment in a world not quite built with them in mind.

An anthology of Neuro-divergent people in Japan; if you are Neurodiverse, you can probably relate to this even if you have never lived in Japan

5 étoiles

Avertissement sur le contenu CW: Suicidal Ideation, Suicide Attempts (no successful attempts), bullying by both teacher and peers, take care of yourself reading this

Basically, the only reason I am not giving 5 stars is I would have felt a trigger warning at the beginning of the book (if I find out there was one and I simply didn't see it I will update this) would have been a REALLY good idea. This is an extremely dark anthology. I recommend it, but read with care--I had to take several breaks reading this.

I will say, the people in this book are ultimately hopeful that things ARE improving / will improve.

I am jealous that Japan seems to have better occupational therapy than the place I tried lol.
