review:
'Hibakusha' by Thilde Barboni with art by Olivier Cinna is a graphic novel story about a forbidden love in time of war.

Ludwig is a translator for the Nazis. When he gets the chance to go back to Japan and leave his loveless marriage behind, he takes it. He is stationed in Hiroshima near the end of the war, so the astute student of history will know what will happen. Ludwig pursues a forbidden love and attempts to do something heroic, but time is not on his side.

This was an interesting story, made even more so by the striking art. The art is beautiful and elevates a story that felt inevitable.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
