Living with strange creatures has its ups and downs.

Childhood friends Tsutsuji and Kouji live in a tiny village. Due to the lack of students, their school's scheduled to be closed at the end of the year; they'll be its final batch. The two of them have always been together, but at this rate they may be separated after graduation...

Barefoot Gen recounts the bombing of Hiroshima from the perspective of a young boy, Gen, and his family. But the book's themes (the physical and psychological damage ordinary people suffer from war's realities) ring chillingly true today. Gen and his family have long been struggling without much food, money or medicine, but despite hardships, they try to maintain a semblance of normal life. The adults are exhausted and near despair; the children take air raids and starvation more or less in stride. Nakazawa, a Hiroshima survivor, effectively portrays the strain of living in this environment and shows how efforts to stay upbeat in dire circumstances sometimes manifest as manic, irrational humor. The story offers some optimism: characters perform acts of self-sacrifice for the sake of neighbors and loved ones (e.g., when Gen's pregnant mother becomes ill from malnutrition, he and his brother pose as orphans and perform in the streets, throwing the money over the walls of their home so they won't get caught). Underneath this can-do attitude are the parents' deep guilt and sense of helplessness. When the children clamor ecstatically over a scrap of food, the parents dissolve in shame and grief. The art is sharply drawn and expressive, and the narrative has such a natural rhythm, it's easy to get pulled into the family's life, making the cataclysm readers know awaits them all the more real, intimate and difficult to take. Despite its harrowing nature, this work is invaluable for the lessons it offers in history, humanity and compassion.

To his co-workers, Hara Makoto appears to be the perfect elite--efficient, unruffled, and flawless, unlike his clumsy and easily flustered subordinate Mizusawa Souta. It'd be hard to find greater opposites anywhere and yet when the puppy-like Mizusawa confesses to his idol, no one's more surprised than Mizusawa when Shin accepts and they start dating. But perhaps life is relative and no matter how elite you are there's always someone else you just can't measure up to and sometimes the most hopeless person move mountains if the right person believes in them. Can Mizusawa help Shin get out of the shadow of his little brother and can Shin let Mizusawa bask in the warmth of his heart?
