To be honest, I'm not particularly fond of Ebine Yamaji's art. Although I have come to recognize it as a style all her own, I still have to state that it is quite unappealing.

But having said that, the manga Love My Life is still worth reading. The characters' personalities, especially Ichiko's, was given much thought. Her feelings and her thoughts are well-motivated.

It's honestly quite suprising how many of the characters lacked compassion for each other and were quite easily put off by other gay people, when they got to know their journeys.

The manga is from the year 2000, so the lens it portrays might be. a little old, I do think it is pretty ...
