Showa: A History of Japan, 1926-1939 by Shigeru Mizuki
4.0
I think I might need to actually read this again with my phone next to me so that I can google all the references that Japanese readers would understand, but someone ignorant of Japanese history, like myself, won't. I am looking forward to the next volume: 1939-1944 because I do think I will have some more background knowledge since the focus will be WWII.
In spite of me not understanding all of the geography and references, this is an incredible read. I like that the chapters alternate between history and Mizuki's perspective as a young person living through the times.
