Every parent frets over the health of their children. Are they eating healthy? Are they up-to-date on all their vaccines? Is that bump on their noggin something to worry about? Are they safe at school? And so on and so on.

However, the thought of an unconscious and unresponsive child sends the most chills down parents spines. Manga artist, Instagrammer and mother of two Shiroko Ueda ( shiroko_u) has released a heart-pumping manga centered around this very experience. The piece follows an occasion on which her son became unresponsive.

Fortunately, the little guy was just fine. I have a feeling, however, he’ll get juice and other sweets whenever he wants from now on.
