Hi readers and typers,
In this Corner of the World manga
Story and Art by Fumiyo Kouno published
in North America by Seven Seas Entertainment
US $27.99/Canada $32.99
Translation by Adrienne Beck
I was lucky enough to spot this the other day at the SFPL-Main
in the Graphic Novel section.
This story is about 1934-1946 and what happened in those
12 eventful years to a girl from a poor family of Seaweed gatherers
She is married by parents arrangement to a boy from Kuri and moves
their with an acerbic sister-in-law, a academic father, a few younger
relatives and some older ones who have gone to join the military.
The boy she marries had met her many years before and decided
that she was the one for him. She endures the war years and
strangely enough this girl who loves to draw loses her right hand.
She and her families lose a lot more of course including a younger
sister, brothers and parents. She is diligent about her duties
but due to war time privation does not conceive which troubles
her greatly.
Well this is not auto-biographical as is Gen of Hiroshima
but it is a highly effective story and has been turned into an
anime advertised in the back of the book. I would buy it in
an instant if i had the money at hand.
