[Read all▲▼] Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms (manga) [Rating▲▼] Very good [Comment▲▼] 
This is a very short slice of life manga dealing with Hiroshima victims. The first stroy takes place 10 years after the bombing and deals with a family experiencing the more recent aftermath. The second piece takes place in the present day and follows the brother of the heroine in the first story. He was sent away as a child to protect him from the aftermath and he's now an old man. His daughter follows him on a day trip to Hiroshima. This was a very good book, if sad in a few parts. The whole thing had a sort of quiet, melancholic tone. The art is not your typical "manga" art either, instead looking a bit more alternative, like a european comic. It's nice every now and then to take a break from the same old manga plots and tropes and read something entirely different.
