Manin Densha De Shitajiki Ni Narimashita

[Machine Translation] Inside a train during the year-end rush hour. Right after the train pulled away, it came to a sudden stop, and a large man collapsed onto me. An announcement stated, We made an emergency stop because a passenger touched the train from the platform." Although he got off at the next station unable to stand on his own why did it take so long to call an ambulance? In the end, he suffered serious injuries that would take over a year to heal, yet neither the person who touched the train nor the man who collapsed was ever identified. From hospitalization, surgery, a second surgery, and rehabilitation to the lawsuit and mediation I had to cover all the costs out of my own pocket. Was I really just supposed to accept this and move on? Based on my own real-life experience, this is a non-fiction comic essay that depicts the dangers right next to us" in modern life.
