Nagata Kabi's fourth autobiographical manga finds her hospitalized for acute pancreatitis and fatty liver at just thirty years old. This development isn't too shocking if you've followed the details of her descent into alcohol abuse in the previous volumes. She has had mental health issues as she has dealt with her sexual identity, inability to develop a romantic relationship, and the extremely negative reaction of her parents to her tell-all comics. She had hoped to turn to writing fiction to appease them, but coping with her life-threatening condition puts her back on the road to confessional diaries.

It's painful to watch her suffering and the choices she makes in the course of this memoir, but I could not turn away. ( )
