   Hi readers and typers,   
   	   
   	 In this Corner of the World manga   
   	 Story and Art by Fumiyo Kouno published   
   	 in North America by Seven Seas Entertainment   
   	 US $27.99/Canada $32.99   
   	 Translation by Adrienne Beck   
   	 I was lucky enough to spot this the other day at the SFPL-Main   
     in the Graphic Novel section.   
   	 This story is about 1934-1946 and what happened in those   
     12 eventful years to a girl from a poor family of Seaweed gatherers   
     She is married by parents arrangement to a boy from Kuri and moves   
     their with an acerbic sister-in-law, a academic father, a few younger   
     relatives and some older ones who have gone to join the military.   
   	 The boy she marries had met her many years before and decided   
     that she was the one for him.  She endures the war years and   
     strangely enough this girl who loves to draw loses her right hand.   
     She and her families lose a lot more of course including a younger   
     sister, brothers and parents.  She is diligent about her duties   
     but due to war time privation does not conceive which troubles   
     her greatly.   
   	Well this is not auto-biographical as is Gen of Hiroshima   
   but it is a highly effective story and has been turned into an   
   anime advertised in the back of the book.  I would buy it in   
   an instant if i had the money at hand.
