    Japan Focus has posted an English translation of an educational manga about World War II written by Mizuki Shigeru, war veteran and creator of the famous GeGeGe no Kitaro series:

    Mizuki’s historical perspectives, informed by his own experience of violence and the excesses of Japan’s wartime regime, do not fit comfortably with stereotypical “rightwing” or “leftwing” positions. Sharing elements of both, but with a strong progressive bent in the area of war responsibility, Mizuki has crafted a series of unforgettable war stories.
