Barefoot Gen

In 1945, World War II reaches its climax. With Japanese cities under relentless firebombing and US forces closing in, the nation teeters on the brink of collapse. In Hiroshima, a spirited young boy named Gen Nakaoka does his best to survive the hardships of war, clinging to the hope that Japan's inevitable surrender will spare his city and bring peace to his family. Yet they have no idea their fate is already decided. The US is preparing to drop "Little Boy," an atomic bomb that will unleash unimaginable destruction and reshape Japan forever.
