Showa: A History of Japan, 1926-1939 by Shigeru Mizuki

5.0

Beautiful first volume in Mizuki's manga series about the history of Japan during the Showa era (Emperor Hirohito's reign) which overlapped with Mizuki's lifetime. Loved the parallel narratives (his life and Japan's) with respective contrasting art styles, cartoony vs photo-realistic. I learned a lot. Absolutely will get the other three volumes.
