Barefoot Gen: The Day After

Barefoot Gen: The Day After is a single-issue graphic novel from 1988, published by New Society, that serves as a poignant coda to Keiji Nakazawa's acclaimed autobiographical series. It directly depicts the aftermath of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, focusing on the long-term physical and emotional scars carried by survivors. This stark, unflinching work is essential for its unvarnished portrayal of nuclear war's human cost.
