I can not believe I just recently found out about this manga! And this is the first time I'm writing a review!!!

KAKUKAKU SHIKAJIKA is a nonfiction biography manga based on the author Hayashi Akiko's life from since she was high school to her at her forties. The story is mainly talking about her, her sensei Hidaka Kenzou and art (sketching, painting, manga).

This manga is particularly outstanding to me. I feel like I can relate to the main character Hayashi Akiko lots. Most manga's I've read have super unique characters, good looking, smart, superpower whatever it is, it just doesn't seem like it's from the same world as us, it's the world we can only dream about, the characters are too fake. it's only for entertaining. However the manga KAKUKAKU SHIKAJIKA, it's character's are not so out of this world, they all have faults, and probably because it actually happened, I can feel emotions. I can actually learn stuff from this manga, it gives me courage and shows me the right path. I guess that's what I like about non-fiction. And I like this manga this much part of it probably is because it's about art, manga and sketches are also the things I love.

So, If you like art, this is a must read!!! I'm serious!!!
