  This manga hits far too close to home.

  Nothing but relatable.

Where it comes from

Built by a productive youth-slang pattern: take a verb or adjective stem and add -み to force it into a noun, as 尊い gives 尊み. Grammatically irregular by design — the joke is partly that it should not be a noun.

First attested: mid-2010s
