Gen d'Hiroshima

A single-issue French graphic novel from Les Humanoïdes Associés, Gen d'Hiroshima (1983) is a stark, unflinching account of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, told through the eyes of a young boy. Created by the artist and writer Keiji Nakazawa, this work distills the harrowing personal and historical trauma of that event into a powerful, standalone narrative. It remains a foundational work of autobiographical manga and a key document of nuclear war's human cost.
