Tsundoku reviewed My Brain Is Different by MONZUSU
This intimate manga anthology is about the struggles and triumphs of individuals learning to navigate …
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 stars
Content warning 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.
