This Japanese Manga Doesn’t Mince Words About War Crimes:

"Shigeru Mizuki is one of Japan’s oldest and most famous working manga artists.
He’s best known for drawing yokai—basically, Japanese ghosts and monsters.

But in recent years, the 92-year-old cartoonist has turned to Japan’s militaristic
Showa era. The result is a stunning series of graphic novels based on historical
research and Mizuki’s own experiences growing up and fighting in Tokyo’s imperial
wars.

His latest work, Showa: A History of Japan, is an unblinking recollection of one of the
20th century’s darkest periods."
