膵臓がこわれたら、少し生きやすくなりました。[Suizō ga Kowaretara, Sukoshi Ikiyasuku Narimashita.]

In this poignant 2022 series from East Press, a single volume explores the unexpected liberation found through chronic illness. The comic reframes a damaged pancreas not as a tragedy, but as a catalyst for a simpler, more mindful existence. Associated with the Japanese slice-of-life tradition, it offers a quiet, philosophical meditation on health and happiness.
