Wow, this is a beautifully told and drawn graphic novel, comprised of
interconnected stories. Life went on
after the bombing of Hiroshima ,
but it was forever affected and altered. The stories within are those of
commoners who find their loved ones dying young from radiation, who meet
discrimination for being potentially exposed to the bomb, and who have to come
to terms with having been spared by the bomb when their families weren’t. Life and love go on. It’s far more subtle than the classic
Barefoot Gen, but perhaps even more compelling.
