I have been rereading Nagata Kabi's series My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness, My Solo Exchange Diary, My Alcoholic Escape From Reality, and My Wandering Warrior Existence. That and Poppy Pesuyama's Until I Love Myself
Both are autobiographical accounts of the mangaka's life. One about a queer person who felt paralyzed throughout her twenties due to not understanding who she was or being willing to pursue it. How she shook herself out of her rut, at first, but each book after that is then the subsequent issues that came with becoming a best-selling mangaka, having friends and trying to have some semblance of a "normal" life.
The other is about a non-binary mangaka coming to terms with themselves and their trauma, as well as the difficulties that came with writing an autobiographical manga and getting it published in a famous Seinien weekly. I have yet to read volume 2 or beyond, but volume 1 was good.
I've actually posted a lil review of Until I Love Myself here
I have Kabi's stuff lying around, but I haven't read it yet.
I went on a bit of a binge, and I'm a bit queered out rn
