Barefoot Gen Volume 2: The Day After by Keiji Nakazawa

4.0

Mostly as good as the first, though feels weaker in some vague way. Maybe it's the lack of drama in knowing what's coming. It's tragic and powerful, but I hesitate to call it a good comic--the art feels stiff and the writing is forced in places; the whole comic feels like Nakazawa was holding his material--his personal tragedies--at arm's length while trying to humanize the experience. An important story to have read, but not the most enjoyable read.
