This captivating story of Hiroshima was one of the original Japanese manga series. New and unabridged, this is an all-new translation of the author's first-person experiences of Hiroshima and its aftermath, a reminder of the suffering war brings to innocent people. Its emotions and experiences speak to children and adults everywhere. Volume One of this ten-part series details the events leading up to and immediately following the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
Deeply important and a benchmark of anti-war literature. There is so much raw pathos in this volume with the final pages an eruption of fury and horrific pain.
A pacifist manifesto in graphic novel format.
Simple, clear and strong it delivers a sweet story from one of the greatest tragedies.
