Okay, to be quite honest, I didn't expect this to hit me as hard as it did, but there were weird coincidences that were scarily relevant to my own life and it might have struck me a little deeper than it would most people!
I found this comic through Prime reading. This is a heartwarming story about Yan, a 23 year old fighting social anxiety and depression, which I empathize with greatly. And on top of that, a main theme is turtles, and they are my favorite animal. So, that was a fun aspect. I shed so many tears through this. I am still sniffling and it's been five minutes since I read the ending. I think life showed me this when I needed it.💕
I loved that there was real recipes included! The characters are from different walks of life, each with their own struggles. It was enjoyable to begin to bond with the team with Yan.
