This Doesn T Feel Like Me Manga

Ever Feel Like You're... Someone Else? This Manga Gets It.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt like a stranger staring back? Like you're wearing a costume that's just a little too tight? Well, there's a manga that nails that feeling: This Doesn't Feel Like Me.

It's not about aliens or body snatchers (though, wouldn't that be a twist?). It's about something much more relatable: the slow, sometimes unsettling, realization that you're changing.

Growing Pains, Manga Style

The story follows our main character, let's call her Ami (because that's her name!), as she navigates the tricky waters of adolescence. It's the classic tale of school and friends and crushes.

Except, Ami starts to feel... different. Not in a dramatic, "I have superpowers" way, but in a subtle, "Wait, I used to like *that*?" kind of way. It's like waking up one day and realizing your favorite ice cream flavor suddenly tastes weird.

And that's where the fun begins. The author, Matsumoto Leiji, brilliantly captures that awkward phase. The one where you're trying to figure out who you are while everyone around you seems to have it all figured out.

More Than Just a Pretty Drawing

Sure, the artwork is lovely – clean lines and expressive faces. But what really shines is the story. This Doesn't Feel Like Me doesn't shy away from the messy, uncomfortable parts of growing up.

Ami's struggles with her changing interests, her evolving friendships, and her burgeoning romantic feelings are all handled with a delicate touch. There's a lot of humor, too!

There are moments of pure laugh-out-loud comedy as Ami tries (and often fails) to keep up appearances. Her internal monologues are gold!

Finding Yourself (Eventually)

One of the things I love most is how the manga portrays the importance of self-discovery. It's okay to not have all the answers right away.

It's okay to try on different "selves" until you find one that fits. Ami's journey is a reminder that it's a marathon, not a sprint. As Matsumoto Leiji shows, figuring out who you are is a process. A messy, hilarious, and ultimately rewarding process.

This Doesn't Feel Like Me is a gentle reminder to be patient with yourself. Give yourself permission to change, to evolve, and to embrace the unknown.

After all, isn't that what life is all about? Discovering who you are, one awkward step at a time.

Why You Should Give It a Read

If you're looking for a manga that's relatable, funny, and surprisingly heartwarming, This Doesn't Feel Like Me is a must-read. It is more than just a book; it's like a warm hug on a cloudy day.

It's a story that will stay with you long after you turn the final page. Because, let's face it, we've all been there. We've all felt like strangers in our own skin.

And that's what makes this manga so special. It reminds us that we're not alone in our weirdness, our awkwardness, and our quest to find ourselves.
