Manga artist Kana Mafune, a hit with parents, releases 'Goodbye! My Haphazard Life!' on March 26—a guide to overcoming life's anxieties and stress

KADOKAWA Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takeshi Natsuno) released the book 'Goodbye! My Haphazard Life! A Rebirth Struggle Chronicle of a Housewife Who Is Terrible at Both Money Management and Housework' (1,500 yen + tax) on Thursday, March 26, 2026.

Kana Mafune, whose previous comic essays 'Reiwa Pregnant Woman's Solitary Cry!' and 'What is a Correct Mother?!' resonated deeply with readers and earned her the Parenting Award 2025, returns with a new work. In 'Goodbye! My Haphazard Life!', she documents her struggle to achieve a 'properly decent life' and move beyond her chaotic habits.

The story began when a financial planner told her, 'Based on calculations, the Mafune family will face 130 million yen in debt over a lifetime.' This shocking revelation prompted her to tackle life's hurdles one by one—from buying a home and reviewing finances to decluttering, cooking, and even choosing clothes. Her real-life experiences in solving these issues are brought to life through her signature manga style.

The book also includes insightful columns featuring interviews with specialists in various fields, including Aya Furouchi (finance), Saori Honda (organization), and Oyone (cooking).

Filled with practical life hacks that are both funny and informative, this book is a must-read for the busy parenting generation and anyone who feels overwhelmed by household management or financial planning.
