8:15 am, August 6, 1945. Six miles above the city of Hiroshima, bomb bay doors snapped open to release "Little Boy," a code-name for the world's first atomic bomb. In an instant thousands of lives were destroyed, while the city's buildings, books and paintings caught fire and burned. The survivors discovered later that the bomb had permanently tainted them with its invisible contamination. Keiji Nakazawa was six years old when he experienced this holocaust. He survived to write and draw this story.
