Mama wa Tenparist

“May I be allowed, just this once, to complain as a mom?”

Akiko is a mangaka, and recently she has also become… a mother! Like many authors, she works from home (for better or worse). But with her adorable little Gotchan constantly asking to be breastfed, everyday life isn’t always easy. Between meeting her manuscript deadlines, managing daily life, and dealing with other people’s judgments, poor Akiko is often just about to lose it… much to our delight!

In this autobiographical manga, Akiko Higashimura recounts the misadventures of a single mother. With plenty of self-deprecating humor, she delivers a hilarious testimony that will also help relieve many moms of their guilt!
