Early adult deals with avoidant depressive personality.

The initial chapters are simple personal vignettes of depressive episodes reminiscent of Watamote, but without much for deprecating cringe comedy, and focusing more on self-conceited introspection. These are done well enough if you look for something to identify with, but where the story begins to shine is past chapter 9 after adding to the cast. You get multiple views on experiencing avoidant anxiety, introversion and loneliness, with models to fight these issues. Though told overly simply, it's a pleasant and well-done surprise.

The artwork is competent, though it lacks a little in character design and distinguished art-style. Some panels can feel muddy, while the more important emotional scenes could do with more inventiveness. For what it is, it doesn't get in the way. That said, it seems to try for some moe appeal, but ends up too stale. Softcore half-nudity can add intimacy, but some choices get hard to interpret without cynicism.

It's a good healing story, sweet and short, exactly as it needs to be.
