Barefoot Gen, Volume Two: The Day After

Barefoot Gen’s autobiographical story – author Keiji Nakazawa was only seven years old when the atomic bomb hit his hometown of Hiroshima – tells of ordinary people dealing with extraordinary situations, both in the last days of World War II and after the nuclear attack. Volume 1 told the story of the days before the dropping of the bomb; this entry describes the devastation and chaos following the blast.
