This book made me feel seen. It's hard to articulate and pinpoint all the hurt, guilt, and anger that comes from being a child of someone who suffers from alcohol addiction. This manga is so poignant, it isn't afraid to shy away from the uglier parts of the reality of the situation. (Especially from the child's point of view.) Definitely recommend! Absolutely check the content warnings/trigger warnings, though. I tried to put as many as I could remember, but it's been a little bit so I might've missed some.
