Ooooh! You don't see manga like that very often! I absolutely LOVE Corner, so more Kouno manga is always a good thing for me! Very Happy

Before this article, I don't if I had heard of Lise Meitner (11/7/1878-10/27/1968) before. Lise was a Swede of Austro-Hungarian Jewish ethnicity who later became a Lutheran. Despite it being a one-shot manga about a real person, it's not that often you have a Jewish main character in manga.

I loved In This Corner of the World, so I'll be really interested to see Fumiyo Kouno's take on a different aspect of history.

Ooh, it's really cool to see Lise Meitner get some attention. She absolutely should have received a Nobel Prize for her work. Then again, she has an element named after her, which is an even more exclusive club. Very Happy

Using elementalmatter.info/periodic-table-names.htm, I so far found 12 chemical elements named after scientists: Gadolinium, Curium, Einsteinium, Lawrencium, Mendeleviumm, Nobeliumm, Roentgenium, Rutherfordium, Samarium, Seaborgium, Bohrium, and Meitnerium.
