Both manga discuss the daily lives of an adult queer person, including their struggles due to their identity, and mental health, and other aspects. (X-Gender is more lighthearted)

They are both about mental health and queer women. Pieta has a much more straightforward narrative than My Lesbian Experience, as the latter is autobiographical.
