Please read the information on Goodreads series and if you think these books do constitute a series state the reasons.

I'm unsure how they wouldn't be considered a series. Each anthology includes new details and perspectives of survivors of the bombings. They're not the same book with new details added, they're new books with new information entirely separate from the previous. Most of these survivors were hard to find as most information regarding the people who lived and survived Hiroshima have been lost due to the war and through time. Also, people not wanting to come forward as they don't want to relive the horror.

Martin | 35804 comments In general series on Goodreads will only apply to fiction

'To be a series, books should have characters and/or universes in common'
