Wait, somebody made a MANGA about Diary of Anne Frank?! Okay, I hope somebody licenses that and brings it to the US, along with Unwomanly Face of War. Shocked Shocked Shocked

There's also an anime movie from the 90s, and it even recently got an English dub. My friend did an essay on it for one of her classes and said it was surprisingly accurate.

I love The Unwomanly Face of War manga since it shows the Soviet union female perspective of WW2.

I've seen the anime movie and I think its fantastic. Shame the person who reviewed it once on here didn't feel the same.

Nice to see Barefoot Gen being a part of this, especially considering the attempts made after Keiji Nakazawa's death to remove the manga from places like schools in Japan, simply because he was critical of Japan & not just America.

Glad I am not the only one who wants to read this. And I get it, the book is already in English and many other languages. I just wanted to read it in manga form.
