Synopsis "Barefoot Gen, Vol. 9: Breaking Down Borders "

Barefoot Gen Volume Nine ― Breaking Down Borders ― Gen continues to confront one setback after another -- the loss of his home, the death of a friend -- when a chance encounter gives new direction to his life. An impoverished but talented artist takes Gen under his wing and teaches him to paint. Inspired by the artists assertion that art has no borders, Gen vows to become an artist himself, and takes a job as apprentice to a local poster painter. Despite merciless bullying from his boss and the older apprentices, Gen perseveres in the pursuit of his new calling.

(Hiroshima, 1939 - Tokyo, 2012) was six years old when the atomic bomb exploded, and all his family died except his mother. In 1961, Nakazawa moved to Tokyo where he worked as a cartoonist and created his first short mangas. After his mother's death in 1966, he depicted the destruction and chaos of Hiroshima in his stories. Kuroi Ame ni Utarete (Struck by Black Rain), was the first of five mangas he made about the story of the Hiroshima survivors. The most famous of all these works is Barefoot Gen: A Hiroshima Story, a long series of nearly three thousand pages starring a boy who survives the atomic terror.
