Gen Barrevoets in Hiroshima: De levende doden (Book 2)

The vivid illustrations and storytelling evoke such a strong sense of loss and resilience. I'm curious whether this was based on personal experiences or historical accounts.

The minimalist style somehow amplified the emotional weight of the story, but I wonder if that was an intentional choice by the artist or a matter of style.

The progression from survival to reconstruction felt very deliberate, and I’d love to know if Nakazawa planned this arc from the beginning or adapted as he went.
