I don't know if I can call it exaggerated or not, I've lived so much of this bullshit. Sazanka is about, as the author stated, “a combination of ADHD, Autism, and Neurodivergeance in general”. It doesn't try to tackle a specific neurodivergence, but the experience of being misunderstood by those closest to you. It's extremely brutal, maybe to an astronomical degree. I'd say the story does become a bit edgy when coupled with the reality of the situation, but I can't deny somebody could've lived what's shown. I haven't and I can call my experience as a lucky one, but the details are still on-point. The instantyou admit to yourself and others that you aren't the same as others, the first answer is one of bewilderment, anger, a response against your maturity. We've been accustomed to hate those who “attract attention” by claiming to be different from the rest. People get lambasted by their context, their nature, and everybody convinces themselves it's a lie made for the hell of it.

The oneshot touches on the themes of relationship abuse, which comes from her neuronal issues, and the old, archaic notion of fixing with force, and habits. The old perspective against the new one, of her friend, immediately accepting, and understanding by not caring, because it's not her life, and it doesn't feel like change, just a recontextualization.

It's a good oneshot, but I can see so many looking at it as just edgy, tragic storytelling for the sake of it. I liked it, but it sure ain't perfect. The art is pretty good though.

7.5/10. Good little oneshot.
