A review by allyem_reads
Barefoot Gen Volume 1: Hardcover Edition: A Cartoon Story of Hiroshima by Keiji Nakazawa

I feel uncomfortable star rating this as it’s a autobiographical memoir of a tragic event in history. Like on one hand I really want to forget it happened and forget reading this graphic novel, but on the other hand this is something that needs to be taught so we can learn from our mistakes ya know? The art was gripping and amazing in that awful realistic way. Nakazawa was a truly incredible artist and storyteller, I wish I could have spoken with him before he passed.
