Sensou wa Onna no Kao wo Shiteinai (original) (raw)

The first 3 chapters might feel weak but from the 4th chapter onwards everything is brutal

You can start reading from any chapter as each chapters give different testimonials which don't necessarily correlate with each other

A must read for WW2 fans, remember this manga is non-fiction, everything you have read, happened

Based on the book: War's Unwomanly Face / War does not have a woman's Face / The Unwomanly Face of War: An Oral History of Women in World War II / У войны не женское лицо by Svetlana Alexievich, Nobel Prize winner in Literature

Drawn by Keito Koume (Spice and Wolf manga) in a neutral art-style... to show the painful testimonials of soviet women who fought in the Second World War in different fronts and sectors.

The recollections are told by elderly soldiers through recordings of small bits of information that they can remember, each telling their tiny collaborative contributions to the war

To anyone who is a major fan of history/WW2 and trying to find "that" historical WW2 manga, this is diamond in the rough you are looking for
