puff 268 Barefoot Gen of Hiroshima



Everyone should read this book.
"Barefoot Gen (はだしのゲン, Hadashi no Gen?) is a manga novel written and illustrated by Keiji Nakazawa. It begins in 1945 in and around Hiroshima, Japan, where the six-year-old boy Gen lives with his family. After Hiroshima is destroyed by atomic bombing, Gen and other survivors are left to deal with the aftermath. The story is loosely based on Nakazawa's own experiences as a Hiroshima survivor."
