The Multifaceted Journey is a coming-of-age diary that combines real-life experiences with anime. Cindy's work captures the essence of everyday life with a simple and almost childlike hand-drawn style. Strong colors distinguish each character and draw attention to the protagonist, personified as a round, cartoon yellow chicken. We follow the character through different stages of life. Childhood is characterized by silliness, fun, and a lack of consequences. Adolescence provides more freedom and leads to resistance to parental control. Young adulthood is portrayed by high self-expectations, anxiety around school and work, and a sense of loneliness.
