Corruption abounds in this sixth volume where relationships are strengthened and characters are stretched to their max. The story really picks up some of the loose threads made in the last volume and ties them together. In some of the earlier volumes, the story has bounced around considerably, the author clearly hoping to address every angle of post-bomb Hiroshima; in this volume, the story is much more concentrated and the minor characters are becoming more than mere props for the plot. no reviews | add a review

"In this volume Gen fights against a corrupt medical system, the discriminatory practices of his neighbors, and the American presence in postwar Japan. Gen's brother, Koji, has gone away to work in the coal mines, but has since disappeared. To make up for the shortage, he and his friends must resort to more drastic measures, which lands one of the bunch in a juvenile detention center."--Publisher's website.
