   Hi literate peers,   
      
   	Well this AM I recieved two advertising message from The Right Stuff   
   International.  The first mentioned in very large poster that the   
   Nozomi brand will be bringing the Macross Anime to North America.  Until   
   that happens TSRI has a lot of Robotech stuff to sell us. A couple of 24   
   items per page pages of it.   
      
   	The next one is selling bundles of Manga but the lead off is a   
   2 volume hardcover set of a "Message to Adoph" by Tezuka Osamu.  This   
   actually involves not only the infamously prominent Adoph H. but a   
   couple of boys named Adoph who are caught in Japan in WW II.  One is   
   half Japanese and the other half German.  He is not well accepted by   
   peers in either Japan or Germany to which he travels.  The other is a   
   Jewish boy in Japan who ends up in a war in Israel.   
   War of course is Hell!   
      
   	The "Message to Adoph" was one of the first serious manga which   
   i was lucky enough to read via the SFPL-Main.  So I clicked on it   
   and was taken to a descriptive page but the additional stuff include   
   Shigero Mizuki's "Hitler" and his excellent "Showa" Series plus   
   "Barefoot Gen" by Keiji Nakazawa.  So take a look at the TSRI pages   
   to see what I left out.   
      
   	I got to read all of "Barefoot Gen" 10 volumes borrowing from the San   
   Francisco Public Library-Main and it is a Master Work in my not so   
   humble opinion. I have also got the Anime on disk though it has been   
   years since I watched it.  I used it to test my sound these days just   
   the beginning as the bomber comes toward Hiroshima.   
   	And if you wonder what happened in Nagasaki there is a book   
   "Last Train From Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Back" and its revised   
   second edition "To Hell and Back: The Last Train From Hiroshima" is a   
   book by American author Charles R. Pellegrino.   
   	That train sadly ran to Nagasaki and the travelers arrive just   
   before the second use of a nuclear weapon in war.  Some of the people   
   escaping Hiroshima have tales of horrible, nearly supernaturally   
   horrible things they saw in Hiroshima which Gen does not mention.   
   Likely he was unconscious while they were going on.  Otherwise Keiji   
   would have used them in his manga which is full of horrible things   
   that happened to his loved ones.   
      
   	Happy Fourth of July to fellow Americans and any sympathizers.
