Shissou Sengen

A comedy manga about a woman who decides to disappear from her current unfulfilling life and then struggles through the logistics of actually doing it.

Though the subject matter may seem dark this manga actually strikes a really lighthearted tone. It’s in part due to Yori Kurokawa‘s cute super deformed character work. Also the protagonist isn’t escaping any ties to a job that fulfills her or any relationships with friends or family either, which makes her decision to disappear seem like something that could actually make a positive difference for her.

The comedy begins when she actually goes through and starts planning everything. Learning how to setup a camping tent causes her to have severe muscle cramps and buying a motorcycle ends up prolonging her stay because she has to finish her monthly payments first. I really enjoyed watching her plight as every step forward was two steps back.
