CATDOLL: Cartoonist's wife announces divorce: Hold your cartoons and commit suicide

For Japanese cartoonists, all they need to do is draw a popular enough comic to enjoy a comfortable life brought by huge business opportunities. But for one cartoonist, this was the reason why his wife filed for divorce.

Cartoonists gain huge popularity, prestige and wealth after having well-known works and successfully commercializing them. Some of them will continue to work harder after becoming famous, while others will spend the money on a life of luxury and debauchery, and eventually fall into depravity. The author of the funny comic "Bald Boy Amaru" mentioned below, "Nomura Shinbo", belongs to the latter. Recently, this former successful person drew a comic about his painful experience, and while making fun of himself, he also warned readers to think about the future when they are on the rise.

"Bald Boy Amaru" is a manga created by "Nomura Shinbo", which was serialized in the magazine "Coro-coro" from 1985 to 1995 and was animated. Its characters and plot are very funny and it was once very popular in Japan.

Thanks to the influence of this work, the 29-year-old teacher "Nomura Shinbo" not only had a lot of money, but also successfully married his wife and had three sons. It can be said that his career was smooth sailing and his family was happy. He was a famous successful person.

Before the age of 30, he had already built a career and a family with the help of comics.

However, this was also the period of Japan's bubble economy, with material desires and temptations. Relying on the wealth brought by comics, "Nomura Shinbo" teacher continued to squander the money and lived a life of debauchery, and even established a new company. The good times did not last long, and any popular work will end one day. With the end of the serialization of "Bald Boy Amaru", the teacher's income also dropped sharply. In the end, he could not even pay the salary of his assistant, and no bank was willing to lend him 300,000.

A life of debauchery and the completion of the work instantly made me fall from heaven to hell

Seeing her husband fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, and the family life being difficult to maintain, the desperate wife made the shocking decision to divorce him. She left him with her three children and left him with a deafening sentence - "Don't you want to die with comics? Then I will make your wish come true!"

At first glance, readers who are unaware of the truth may think that the teacher's wife is too materialistic and cruel, but the teacher later mentioned that his wife actually has a hard life. When he is unable to go home due to busy work, his wife raises three children alone. The pressure she bears is unimaginable. It is not surprising that the helpless wife would make such a decision after her husband lost his source of income.

Now "Nomura Shinbo" is 59 years old. Because his painting style cannot adapt to the times, coupled with the fierce competition among newcomers, he can hardly get any work at present, and can't even get the workload of ten original manuscripts per month. If "Bald Maru" is now released as an animation, will "Nomura Shinbo" have a chance to make a comeback? Assuming that he can reap huge wealth again, he should not make the same mistakes as when he was young this time...
