## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    top notch manga
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2022*

Really nice story combining interesting history lesson with the author's personal life from his childhood. Mizuki-San is famous in Japan for his Ge-Ge-Ge no Kitaro cartoon so his childhood also includes tales of ghosts and features his neighbour/nanny Nononba who introduced him to tales of Yokai monsters. The pre-WW2 history seems very well researched and includes little stories that i'm sure would be interesting even to history buffs. Slightly unusual to combine both comedy and serious history but it works and is easy to read. I am a fan of this author so I may be slightly biased.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great comic

I couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed the combination of pure historical facts mixed with autobiographical parts. Great drawings!
