High Growth, Light and Shadow (Japanese History Depicted by Manga Artists) A manga that comically depicts Japanese history. Here, you'll find the breath of the people and living history that you can't learn from textbooks. The second installment of this miraculous series, which transcends publishers and magazines, is "Japanese History." The lives, events, and incidents of people living in each era. By depicting the existence of those people, who seem to have stopped in time within the history that has become a subject of learning, the manga artists have transformed them into vibrant life once again. The stories unique to manga, which maintain the basic historical facts while adding bold adaptations, allow readers to feel history with all five senses, from the breath of humanity and their joys and sorrows to the bloodiness of the battlefield.
