In 2025, with the world descending into madness and anarchy, one woman begins a fateful …
finally a post-apocalyptic story that says something meaningful
5 stars
The best "post-apocalyptic" story I've ever come across. So good, it puts most of the others to shame.
Also just a great story on its about community, religion, and how to believe in and work for a better world.
I wish it was recommended reading in school.
The heart-rending autobiographical manga that's taken the internet by storm! My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness …
Trying to find connections and meaning as an adult

This was my second time reading it, so it was interesting to see how different my relation to the story would be.
It is still remarkably relatable and touching. If you are going through some hard times or you know someone who is, then maybe the author's experiences with her own difficulties of trying to connect with people and fulfill social expectations will give some insight.
I also think the problems she discusses are much more widespread in society than many believe, but a lot of people who are affected can't talk about it due to various stigmas, so it's good that she was brave enough to share her story.
While it already won a bunch of awards, I still think it's not known widely enough, especially outside the anime/manga sphere. Even if you've never read a manga or graphic novel before, I recommend checking out this one. It's short, …

The Hungarian translation of Un Polpo Alla Gola, Zerocalcare's semi-autobiographical graphic novel.
An excellent graphic novel about growing up, guilt, loss.

If you liked Tear Along The Dotted Line, you will love this.
I don't know how universal Zerocalcare's story of growing up around the turn of the century in a kind of terrible school is, but it really resonated with me.
Zero makes masterful use of the comic format, each moment is communicated in such an immersive way.
