Comments of Love My Life

a one-of-a-kind queer narrative that revolves mainly around ichiko - a young woman in current-day japan who comes out to her father only to find out that both he and her late mother were queer. i spent an entire day reading up about lavender marriages after this (especially in a modern chinese setting, where there are matchmaking sites devoted specifically to this purpose). i think it would be an intriguing premise to explore in the context of US culture too. i mean, i think it's a simply superb way to frame the intergenerational differences in lifestyle of and societal attitudes towards lgbtqia+ people. there could be a whole spread on the endangerment of lesbian bars! the aftershocks of the grenwall riot!! aids epidemic!! anyways, i'm getting ahead of myself.

one of the highlights of this story is its exploration of family. the contrast between eriko's authoritarian, distant father and the warmth and rapport of ichiko's less orthodox parents (including their partners) shed light on the varying societal and class views on lgbtdom, the pathways of its perpetuation, as well as the necessity for empathy rather than ostracism. a very strong supporting cast also brings depth to its portrayal of LGBT+ identity.

this was actually written by a straight person! but. its a classic work within the lgbtqa+ canon so i have to read it eventually

Delicate, with true and live characters... A little gem.

The way you can feel their emotions will get to your heart!

Incredible plot, really enjoyed and felt identified with the characters.

it was so realistic that i wanted it to end quickly. i couldn’t appreciate it as much as other people, I found it to be very mundane

A very cute slice of life!! I admire how realistic Ichiko and her gfs relationship is. It feels raw, real, and relatable. Glad that Take finally got a bf lol

i love this so so much omg

I read this in Maine I remember it was good and had some mature scenes but besides that nothing

Mc se chystá představit svou přítelkyni svému otci. V tu dobu se ji její otec svěří, že on sám je gay a její matka (která je po smrti) byla lesba. To mc úplně vyvede a je z toho celá taková nesvá. Z pomocí její přítelkyně a přítele jejího otce se z toho rychle dostane a pojme nový pohled na tuhle situaci. Dále řeší celkově problémy s přijmutím ostatních její (nejen její ale ostatních postav) homosexuality. Řeší její krásný vztah s její přítelkyni a i obdiv od jiné dívky (kdy jsem snad v mangách poprvé odpustila mc její obdiv k někomu jinému než k partnerovi). Krásné. Lechtivé scény jsou udělány krátce a lehce i když jsou časté. Nahota komfortní a nenucená. Dnes mám o čem přemýšlet a jsem velmi spokojená. 8,5/10
