Sawako Honna, 42, is single. She works hard at a film promotion company. One night, all of a sudden, her heart palpitates, and her body goes cold... Could it be that she's going through menopause!? Not as hard-working as in your 20s. Not as flippant as in your 30s. The mental and physical changes, and the obstacles you face in your 40s. Sudden illness, menopause, fatigue you can't get rid of, changes in working patterns, money worries, life plans for the future... 23rd Japan Media Arts Festival Excellence Award winner. Nominated for the 2020 Manga Taisho Award.
Even though Since I Could Die Tomorrow has a forty-something woman as its protagonist (and why not!), this manga has much to say about growing older and the meaning of life but not in a heavy or depressing way; its surprisingly life-enhancing! It was the winner of the 23rd Japan Media Arts Festival Excellence Award, and nominated for the 2020 Manga Taisho Award. Whole-heartedly recommended and not just to forty-somethings. Read Full Review
