Barefoot Gen, Volume Five by Keiji Nakazawa
In this installment, the young protagonist and his remaining family struggle to survive in the ruined, occupied city after the bombing, confronting starvation, disease and the cruelty of profiteers while also witnessing the lingering physical and social effects of radiation; amid scenes of loss and injustice they show fierce resilience, protecting one another, exposing corruption, and trying to rebuild some semblance of everyday life even as the moral and emotional scars of the catastrophe continue to shape their choices.
