انا معروف عني ان انا بطني جامده لكن الحقيقة اول 150 صفحة من الرواية دي قلبولي بطني فعلًا.
انا خيالي واسع جدًا فكل الاحداث انا شايفها فعلًا قدامي و كمية بؤس و ألم و قهر بتشوفها قدام عينك.
الإصابات المميتة اللي شايفها قدام عينك و ناس بتموت قبل ما تتعالج حتي
و الوضع الإجتماعي البشع للبلد
انا مستغرب جدًا تصرفات الأطفال ولاد صاحبة بطلة القصة و تصرفاتهم و تصرفات جدتهم انا مش فاكر ابدًا و انا طفل اني فكرت في ضيف علي انه جاي ياكل اكلنا و انه غير مرحب به ، وضع إجتماعي بشع حقيقي في البلد كان محتاج نقلة زي اللي اشتغلوا عليها عشان نشوف الشعب الياباني الجميل اللي بنحبه النهارده.
و غريب جدًا برضه الاطفال الأيتام لسه في أول أسبوع من سقوط القنبلة وبيسرقوا من ناس متشردة زيهم، انت هتستغرب جدًا الوضع الإجتماعي الغريب ده و غياب الأخلاق.
العنصرية ضد الكوريين البشعة
الرواية دي زي ما هي بينت بشاعة الحروب و بشاعة القنبلة النووية في نفس الوقت بينت بشاعة الوضع الإجتماعي في اليابان الوقت ده انا حتي الآن شفت ناس بتكره بعض في الرواية اكثر من ناس بتحب بعض بنسبة 90% علي الأقل
المانغا دي يعتبر من المانغا المؤسسة لفن المانغا نفسه تحسها اصلًا نقلة بين الرسم الكاريكاتيري و بين فن المانغا نفسه.

From the cover: 'Barefoot Gen is the powerful, tragic, and autobiographical story of the bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath, seen through the eyes of the artist as a young boy growing up in Japan... Barefoot Gen serves as a reminder of the suffering war brings to innocent people.'
Barefoot Gen is a manga (Japanese graphic novel), and as such, has the power to illustrate ideas immediately. For me, the emotional effect is often stomach turning, as I see maggots crawling on the still-living and a mother begging anyone to breastfeed her dying baby because she too is starving. This series has many parallels to our current time, and while it is horrifying, it is real.
The Day After, follows Gen, his mother Kimie, and his baby sister as they try to survive in the rubble of Hiroshima in the week after the bomb was dropped. Gen is sent to find rice, a difficult task since almost anything flammable was destroyed in the fires that ravaged the city, and in the process, he meets other suffering folks: some willing to help, some in need of his help, and some so blinded by their own fear, a bag of rice is too much to spare.

Things that stand the most from this book - how the living had to live a life of hell, right after the blast with all those burns and maggots and dying of radiation poisoning; children having to provide for themselves in a Lord of the Flies/ Jungle rule kind of a setup; how there is so sympathy for the victims or survivors from people of neighboring towns; soldiers who come in for relief dying of radiation poisoning (reminds one of the Chernobyl cleanup efforts and lives lost in that). This book is a terrible read, but much required to know what really transpired after the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

These comics are really testing my faith in humanity. I find myself cursing over what happens to Gen on almost every page.
This comic is so strong.
I can't wait to start book 3
