Barefoot Gen is a pretty good manga. I've read it before and it was pretty educational. the manga itself is not entirely dark. there are a lot of goofy scenes too. if you read it, you will learn about how crazy the japanese government during wwII and how horribly they treated chinese and koreans. Most of all, I learned how terrible it is to use a-bomb.

Wishing him a long a healthy life.

Not only are all ten volumes of Barefoot Gen finally available in English a translation of Nakazawa's own autobiography, Hiroshima: The Autobiography of Barefoot Gen, has been published by Rowman & Littlefield.

Hasn't this guy been through enough, he got cancer, too?

I'm glad he's okay right now. He really is a strong and admirable guy.

Nakazawa is a fighter. Not to trying to be a downer, but when I first heard about the 'Gen' series I didn't know the creator was still alive. Then I remember someone mentioning to me about him being exposed to so much radiation. Which was the reason I thought he had passed after the work was done. Little did I realized that after reading the first 4 books that's when I realized he was still living and the series was still going and had yet to be published in the states. I wish him well on his recovery and on his future endeavors as a strong anti-war activist.

I really hope the cure will work for him, with cancer you never know. Sad

A friend of my father died for complications tied to lung cancer not much longer than a month ago, he was 78. The doctors said that he survived for much longer than they thought he would, and I hope this will be the case for this legendary mangaka, too.
