Multiple Chemical Sensitivity [MCS], which often occurs with ME/CFS, is an invisible illness that can be extremely difficult to understand from the outside.
There is, however, an informative comic that gives you a clear image of this illness. In this comic, a lovable character, “Kuma-san,” introduces what it is like to have MCS.
Ms. Yurari, the author, suffers from severe MCS.
She is active on social media such as Twitter and Pixiv to raise awareness of this invisible illness. She lets Kuma-san explain what MCS patients deal with on a daily basis humorously and poignantly.
Kuma-san discusses the very real pain and distress that all MCS patients experience.
I am not an MCS patient myself, but I have been translating the Kuma-san series to let people all over the world know the reality of chronic illnesses. I am uploading my translations along with the original Japanese version with the full permission of the author, Ms. Yurari.

Conclusion
In recent years, I have become sensitive to smells of paints, thinner, deodrants and detergents, so I can imagine how hard it must be to have this illness.
As a chronic illness patient, I can easily imagine that MCS can be an extremely lonely disease, just like Kuma-san says in this comic.
I also know that a little bit of understanding and support from the people around them can make a huge difference in their lives, so I want many people to read this comic. I believe it will help you understand the reality that MCS patients face.
