Description

[Machine Translation] Summer, 1944. Tamaru, a soldier aspiring to be a cartoonist, was on the island of Peleliu at the end of the Pacific War. It was a paradise surrounded by coral reefs and covered with beautiful forests. But it was also an insane battlefield where 50,000 soldiers from Japan and the U.S. killed each other. Forty thousand elite U.S. troops attacked to seize the airfield, which was said to be the best in the East at the time. The Japanese garrison of 10,000 soldiers, ordered to "endure the battle thoroughly," is ready to intercept the attackers. On a small island far from their homeland, what did they fight for and what did they think about? A long-forgotten record of the truth about the young men who lived in the era of "war"!
