FANTAGRAPHICS AT 50! A couple of weeks ago at Broken Frontier our Swati Nair reviewed the first volume of Marina Lisa Komiya’s On Their Frontlines: The Lives of Japanese War Brides describing it as “an impressive opening volume.” Today at BF we’re very pleased to be able to revisit the book with this preview of pages exclusive to us!
ON THEIR FRONTLINES: THE LIVES OF JAPANESE WAR BRIDES VOL. 1
by Marina Lisa Komiya, Translator: Diana Taylor
In this sensitive and affecting manga debut, this story follows the lives of two Japanese war brides following WWII, and the simmering tensions around identity, sexuality, and cultural change as their country rebuilds from the devastation.
