In This Corner of the World. Volume 2. Kono Fumiyo

In Japan, the manga "In This Corner of the World" is considered a modern classic. It has been adapted into anime, films, TV series, theater productions, etc.

The events of the manga take us to Hiroshima in the 1940s, where we meet the dreamy and artistically gifted girl Suzu Urano and go through her path of growing up in the shadow of the greatest catastrophe in human history.

In the process of creating this masterpiece, the author Fumiyo Kono deeply researched this difficult period of Japanese history. It combines beautiful drawings, historical details, real drama and a sense of humor. This is a story about the art of living in difficult circumstances that will definitely not leave you indifferent.

It's been almost a year since Suzu married Shusaku, and she has so many questions! Did her husband really choose her with his heart, or does he still love someone else? What is it like to have one friend who is so difficult to see? How can she understand her own feelings when she herself, from a young age, had only to submit to circumstances? Is there any place for her here at all?

And as 1945 approaches, the front-line city of Kure is bombed more and more often, and just as often Suzu feels superfluous and powerless. Sometimes it seems that everything would be easier if she returned to her native Hiroshima, to her parents and sister... and the next moment Suzu is torn between a sense of duty and the hope that she will still be able to get along with the people around her.

But here the war makes its own inevitable adjustments: something distorts, something takes away forever, but at the same time, amidst the roar of war, you can hear your own heart more clearly, which has long made its choice. On the fragments of her former life and former self, Suzu begins to carefully draw a new corner of the world, where, although there is no justice, there is a lot of love.
