Blog post, but I guess thats what you're asking for?, this reminds me of my own teen years. I had comic artist I autisticly obsessed over and wanted to visit, like the female MC. The comic artist even put their own mental hang ups in the comic like Yokoi. The main difference between the manga and my life is that I wasn't crazy enough to meet the dude IRL, even though I could have tracked him down.
I also relate to the male MC's relationship with their dad. I had a parent who was also aggressive like that. They'd reply "god gave you eyes" whenever I needed help finding something, even after I looked, along with thinking every other question was an attack on their character 9how long will this take= Hurry up slowpoke, to them apparently)
I find the mangas depiction of trauma interesting because it attempted to tackle emotional neglect. Neglect is always the harder abuses to portray in media because it's the lack of something. That means to show it most manga go full "he didn't talk to me for 1 full week and didn't cook lunch for me for 1 full month!". The female MC relationship with her mom was a much more nuanced look at neglect.
Finally I find the male MC's comic interesting. He states he was never bullied by his classmates or parents and that he was just neglected. Yet the female MC finds his comics on bullying relatable and accurate. Maybe the authors trying to make a point how the real pain of bullying is the isolation or something. I might be over analyzing. I do hope they go more into the MC's back story
