Vertical In Clothes Called Fat

Meiner Meinung nach, ist es eine äußerst realistische Darstellung von Essstörungen. Man merkt das Herz, das in dieses Buch gesteckt wurde.

I was looking for a one-shot manga to read. When I found this, I immediately thought "it seems kind of worth"; but I never could have thought it would be so much accurate.The plot, the designs and the entire cast of characters blend together perfectly, creating a truly heartbreaking story.Last but not least, the shipping service has been excellent: the product arrived one day earlier than expected in perfect condition.

A manga about the truth. Struggles in life, how bad it can end when you are not truthful to yourself. Ending insulting yourself because of others just to fit in.

Mayocco Anno is a prolific writer-artist of manga in Japan best known for her comedies about twentysomething women and their professional and personal lives. This is a story that's not a comedy but a drama, and a tragic one at that. Noko is a fat office lady who's the resident doormat, picked on and bullied by a sociopathic and attractive colleague who's also having an affair with Noko's feckless, abusive boyfriend. Noko suffers from low self-esteem and comfort-eats, but when she discovers her boyfriend's affair, she decides she needs to lose weight and get thin, but her problems go much deeper than just her weight and body-image problem, and her inability to do anything in moderation sends her on a physical and emotional roller coaster that puts her entire life and psyche at risk.Few comics or prose novels are this direct in portraying the emotional, psychological and sexual foibles of men and women as Mayocco Anno's stories. There's a sense that she wants to shed light on the insidious cruelty of women towards other women, their insecurities, anxieties and what makes them tick. You react with empathy, exasperation and horror at the heroine's self-delusion, self-loathing and terrible decisions, but it's clear that you are meant to care for her and hope she ends up in a better place. Even as she puts herself through a hellish crucible, there is hope at the end.You read this graphic novel and you feel like you know someone like Noko. Or she could be you.
