That guy who goes the Air Gear manga should present his manga to Obama too. Since he makes a cameo and all.

Hahaha!! Good one.

Considering that the series has been republished so readers can have a chance to read the rest of the story. I thought that the series was done. Didn't know it wasn't finished yet.

A great story to read, but I do think GATSU actually has a point. The story points to so much that happened to victims of the atomic bomb, maybe that would wake up Kim about the consequences (not that he cares though). He should probably also present it to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as well since he's talking nuclear these days.

forgot about that nut job, might as well send one to the pakistani government, I know they're not crazy but the security for their nukes are a joke and any nut can get access to it if they wanted to.

Obama is sitting in the office where the nuclear attack that devastated the author's life was authorized.

C'mon, you know that Obama would just return the gift by ignoring the significance of the manga entirely and sending Nakazawa one of those 'HOPE' signs, incorrectly translated into Japanese by some member of his staff.

Did you not notice the words "completion of the English translation" in the article?
