Barefoot Gen 1 by Keiji Nakazawa
A raw, semi-autobiographical wartime coming-of-age story that follows a young boy and his family as they endure increasing poverty, food shortages and social ostracism under a militaristic regime; when an atomic bomb devastates their city, he witnesses horrifying blast, fire and radiation effects, loses loved ones and is forced into desperate acts to survive, care for the injured and confront the moral collapse and human cruelty that follow the disaster.
