Another book down for 24 in 48!
I enjoyed Mizuki‘s first volume in the Showa series immensely, so I was happy to have an excuse (Read Harder task plus 24in48 Readathon) to pick up the next one. I really like how he juxtaposes his personal experience with a more distanced overview of events. This volume covers the WWII years up to 1944, which ends on an almost literal cliff-hanger.
