Seven Seas initially published the manga in English as an ebook exclusive before the release of the book written after it–*My Pancreas Broke, But My Life Got Better*–in order to preserve the chronological timeline of new entries in Nagata Kabi’s powerful autobiographical series.

Whether it’s all in her head or just a way to cope with loneliness, Kabi embraces the company, naming her Anko, and proceeds to share her daily tasks with her new friend. Despite the delusion, Kabi can’t help but long to continue the late-night meals and shared udon with such pleasant company. (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)
