Journal Article
The Showa Masterwork of Manga Pioneer Shigeru Mizuki
2015
Overview
The series covers the period of the reign of the Emperor Hirohito from 1926 to 1989-an era of unprecedented change in Japan, which saw the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the rise of Japan as an economic powerhouse. (To a Japanese reader, this is sort of like Goofy popping up to narrate a Disney film, so it's less weird than you might suspect.) Mizuki also reveals how the militarism sweeping the country affected children, who worshipped top generals as heroes and who beat each other senseless in vicious neighborhood gang wars.
