Ago ga Deteiru Watashi ga Kareshi ni Sukuwareru made

She was always afraid of her father, and she always hated herself – both in her looks and her personality. This moving essay manga depicts how her self-esteem slowly improves as her laid-back boyfriend validates her time and time again.

“My chin is huge. I want to file it off. I want to hammer it back in! I don't want anyone to see me like this.”

That's how I always felt. It's been 15 years now since I met my boyfriend. As if it were nothing, he would tell me that no, he likes that about me. I haven't completely overcome my insecurities, but I've come far enough that I can cope. Together with him.
