This volume deals with the period leading up to World War II, a time of high unemployment and other economic hardships caused by the Great Depression. Mizuki's photo-realist style effortlessly brings to life the Japan of the 1920s and 1930s, depicting bustling city streets and abandoned graveyards with equal ease.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen the Showa era began, Mizuki himself was just a few years old, so his earliest memories coincide with the earliest events of the time. With his trusty narrator Nezumi Otoko (Rat Man), Mizuki brings history into the realm of the personal, making it palatable, and indeed compelling, for young audiences as well as more mature readers. As he describes the militarization that leads up to World War II, Mizuki's stance toward war is thoughtful and often downright critical--his portrayal of the Nanjing Massacre clearly paints the incident (a disputed topic within Japan) as an atrocity. Mizuki's \"Showa 1926-1939\" is a beautifully told history that tracks how technological developments and the country's shifting economic stability had a role in shaping Japan's foreign policy in the early twentieth century.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games City","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55799697670529,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/2737\/3185\/files\/image_2026-06-13_084029713.png?v=1781336434"},{"product_id":"showa-1939-1944","title":"Showa 1939-1944","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eShowa 1939\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e1944: A History of Japan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e continues the award-winning author Shigeru Mizuki's autobiographical and historical account of Showa-era Japan.

On a personal level, these years mark a dramatic transformation in Mizuki's life, too. His idyllic childhood in the countryside comes to a definitive end when he's drafted into the army and shipped off to the tiny island of Rabaul in Papua New Guinea. His life becomes a constant struggle for survival, not only against the constant Allied attacks but against the harsh discipline of the Japanese army officers. During his time in Rabaul, Mizuki comes to understand the misery and beauty of the island itself, a place that will permanently mark him and haunt him for the rest of his life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games City","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55799699145089,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/2737\/3185\/files\/image_2026-06-13_084528425.png?v=1781336734"},{"product_id":"showa-1944-1953","title":"Showa 1944 1953","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"zoomed\" class=\"large-6 columns shopitem  eng\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Book\" itemid=\"#zoomed\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe penultimate volume of the Showa series continues award-winning author Shigeru Mizuki's autobiographical and historical account of Showa period Japan.

After the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor, Japan and the United States are officially at war. The two rival navies wage a series of micro-wars across the tiny Pacific islands, and from Guadalcanal to Okinawa Japan slowly loses ground. Finally, the United States unleashes the deathblow with a new and terrible weapon-the atomic bomb.

The final volume picks up in the wake of Japan s utter defeat in World War Two, as a country reduced to rubble struggles to rise again. The Korean War brings new opportunities to the nation searching for an identity. A former enemy becomes their greatest ally as the USA funnels money, jobs, and opportunity into Japan, hoping to establish the country as a bulwark against Soviet communist expansion. Japan reinvents itself, emerging as an economic powerhouse. Events like the Tokyo Olympiad and the World s Fair introduce a new, friendly Japan to the world, but this period of peace and plenty conceals a populace still struggling to come to terms with the devastation of WWII. During this period of recovery and reconciliation, Shigeru Mizuki s struggles mirror those of the nation. He fights his way back from extreme poverty, becoming a national celebrity who is beloved by millions of manga-reading children. However, prosperity cannot bring the happiness Mizuki craves, as he struggles to find meaning in the sacrifice of millions during the War. The original Japanese edition of the series Showa: A History of Japan won Mizuki the prestigious Kodansha Manga Award; the English translation has been nominated for an Eisner Award. \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1770462015\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"cdz36r-iwz3d3-q43b52-l2mtn9\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1770462015\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"5knojv-1q80n9-2j6883-1gta14\" data-cel-widget=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1770462015\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"fljq2h-hsozj1-ul84s2-bq1a3d\" data-cel-widget=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\" data-csa-op-log-render=\"\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"DsUnknown\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"DsUnknown-5\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-painter=\"tell-amazon-desktop-cards\" data-csa-c-id=\"ktg1ur-5bn3to-i447bw-qwkgrc\" data-cel-widget=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstance6rcH44LnRdl1wnpUxCI2pg\" data-card-metrics-id=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_4\" data-acp-tracking=\"{}\" data-mix-claimed=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Games City","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55799701373313,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/2737\/3185\/files\/image_2026-06-13_084959028.png?v=1781337003"},{"product_id":"tokyo-ghoul-vol-1","title":"Tokyo Ghoul Vol 1","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eGhouls live among us, the same as normal people in every way—except their craving for human flesh.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGhouls live among us, the same as normal people in every way—except their craving for human flesh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKen Kaneki is an ordinary college student until a violent encounter turns him into the first half-human half-ghoul hybrid.
