This manga holds no punches, cuts no corners on what it is like to survive the Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, especially as a young child. Though I have to warn readers, it veers into triggering territory such as war, child death, infant death, rape, murder, sexual assault, suicide, hanging, sickness, the whole nine yards (save for drugs, there aren't really any scenes or moments with drugs save for mild drinking and smoking maybe). Admittedly the ending is a bit unrealistic considering it's bittersweet with a ray of optimism and the protagonist survives. I'm surprised how many people have been able to survive the bombings andbe able to live a long life after and tell the tale. I know I could not have been able to survive! This is why I don't believe in nuclear warfare.

My heart goes out to survivors of war, especially in situations where they were close to death or almost died. I reccomend this but not for squeamish or sensitive readers.
