Hara (2)

A collection of biographical comics about the author's journey through body positivity. Although it's aimed at Japanese readers, I think that the personal story of the author would resonate with anyone. It's a good primer on the body positivity movement. Although it deals with some serious topics, the tone is overall lighthearted. hara's artwork is cute, and she's talented at drawing people of all sizes. I really liked her illustrations of the movie Hairspray--they're so cute! 

hara recounts her struggles from childhood through her late twenties in coming to a healthy body image for herself . It's very relatable, though the first half starts to ramble and get a bit repetitive. But I re-engaged when she dipped into pop culture with reviews of I Feel Pretty, Hairspray, and Queer Eye and an extended interview with a Japanese model.
