    <body><![CDATA[This graphic novel consists of a couple of interconnected short stories that revolve around people that were affected by the bombing of Hiroshima. The first story of Minami got to me the most because the young woman finally allows herself to fall in love, but she then dies due to unforeseen complications from the bomb. Fumiyo Kouno's drawings are wonderfully detailed and she captures the sadness and beauty of Japan perfectly.]]></body>
