📘 My Alcoholic Escape from Reality by Kabi Nagata

Kabi Nagata’s career as a woman cartoonist gained critical acclaim, yet behind the accolades she faced a crippling creative block that drove her deeper into alcohol. The addiction culminated in an emergency hospitalization for pancreatitis—an abrupt, physical reminder of the stakes of her habits.

Through honest narration, she documents how confronting her illness reshaped her life and re‑ignited her storytelling impulse, offering readers an intimate look at the highs and lows of a life in comic art.
