[Saitama Prefecture] Released the "Carer" edition of the "Understanding through Manga" series

Saitama Prefecture has created two new volumes in its "Understanding through Manga" series, titled the "Carer" edition, to provide easy-to-understand information on preparing for caregiving and balancing work with caregiving responsibilities. The two volumes are the "Caregiving Preparation Edition" and the "Working Carer Edition."

The "Caregiving Preparation Edition" compares a protagonist who struggles with sudden caregiving alone without consulting anyone, against a protagonist who, through minor prior preparations, manages to balance work and caregiving by utilizing the help of others. The "Working Carer Edition" depicts a protagonist who grows by managing work and caregiving while receiving support from long-term care insurance services, company colleagues, and local community members.

In addition to these two new volumes, the "Understanding through Manga" series has previously published 11 volumes covering themes such as "Inclusive Society," "Understanding Dementia," and "Living Life Your Way Until the End," all aimed at deepening understanding of the "Community-based Integrated Care System," which seeks to create a society where people can continue to live in their familiar communities even as they age.

The new volumes will be available starting at 11:00 AM on Friday, March 27, 2026. We encourage you to view them along with the other themes.
