I've been a Nagata Kabi fan for a while now, and I've got to say, her newest work, "My Pancreas Broke, But My Life Got Better" did not disappoint at all. This work takes place after the events of "My Alcoholic Escape From Reality", so if u haven't read this yet, I highly suggest you do, because it provides keep context that would otherwise be missing. Nagata Kabi is a self indulgent alcohol addict, and this was made apparent in this entry. She struggles on and on with her alcoholism, as there was a point where she actually managed to break free from her addiction
...
(this only lasted a month, though). After being diagnosed with Pancreatitis, Nagata Kabi was hospitalized for a prolonged period of time. She was getting very self conscious about seeing other people get discharged, as well as she has connected directly to an IV which meant she couldn't eat properly. This went on for a while. Eventually, she had to start wearing adult diapers because she could not control her bodily systems properly. However, her mom and dad did their utmost best to support her. Her mom provided her with all her necessities and made some hearty homemade meals that follow her diet. And her father called her "a real treasure". Due to the support from her parents, Nagata Kabi was able to break free from her addiction. It didn't happen overnight, and it wasn't an instant transformation. It was a slow and arduous process which involved lots of self restraint and hard work on her end. But she did it. And we're all proud of her. It's really satisfying to see Nagata Kabi's life finally take a turn for the better after all the suffering and challenges she's been through. Overall, I do still believe "My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness" and "My Solo Exchange Diary" are her best works, as we get a very introspective look into her life and its extremely fascinating to read. But this one was solid as well. If you've never read a Nagata Kabi work before, I suggest you read her other works and then come to this one because they are necessary in order to fully appreciate this. However, if you're a big Nagata Kabi fan (like myself), I highly recommend picking this volume up as its a great read and its 100% worth your money.
