About the series
Keiji Nakazawa’s two-issue series from Educomics adapts his own harrowing firsthand experience of the atomic bombing into a stark, educational comic. A companion to his longer Barefoot Gen saga, this 1980–1981 release distills the human cost of Hiroshima into a concise, accessible format for younger readers. Nakazawa’s raw, expressive artwork and unflinching narrative make this an essential, sobering document of history told through the eyes of a survivor.
