you know since i'm a girl, it won't count as your first kiss... this manga felt so authentic and heartbreaking... worrying about who's having sex and who's not (like it even matters), trying to grow up too quickly, wanting to belong and feel known (even if that's on your blog with strangers), complaining about your parents (because your world is so small), performing gender and sexuality with the boyfriend you don't even like (at least i'm not a virgin...), pining for a girl who can't ever see you that way, "practising kissing" like it's just a game and doesn't count... and you're not even sure what you feel. what a poignant snapshot
