A quick, illustrated story about the author's experience with an eating disorder. My favorite part is when she draws herself as a curved line—sort of an elongated S—as it feels evocative without leaning towards "thinspiration". Unfortunately that's not a consistent choice, and the book is heavy on numbers and other details (and drawings) that I would not recommend for anyone struggling with an eating disorder. I'm not sure how much language is a factor in the story (the book is a translation, and I'm guessing from the author's name that it was originally written in Japanese), but it's very, very simplistic. I applaud the author for turning her story into something creative, but I wouldn't recommend this.
