True and Fun

As I had dealt with my own mental illness, similar to Tomokos depression, after I began reading this series. It spoke to me and I noticed a lot of her errors were mine at one point. This series is probably best for a teen girl, but by no means should it be slept on. Beneath the comedy lies a true piece of social commentary on mental illness, anxiety, depression, the dangers of social fears, introversion, disassociation and delusions. Really wish I had read this when I was younger. This is a great on-going story, not to be missed. Awesome main character you watch develop from socially awkward friendless teen without a care in the world to a great lead that mimics a lot of teens; wanting things, but being so enthralled with inactivity stemming from depression and anxiety, it curbs motivation. It is deep and stronger beneath its over the top comedy. You fall in love with the bumbling lead before you realize it.
