Description
A moving autobiographical manga about her father's alcoholism that inspired a critically acclaimed live-action film.

She rejects the common belief that family members can and should be forgiven for anything they do, no matter how much harm they cause. This powerful, self-contained autobiographical manga began as a web series that went viral, and inspired a critically acclaimed 2019 film in Japan.
