In *The Unwomanly Face of War*, Alexievich chronicles the experiences of the Soviet women who fought on the front lines, on the home front, and in the occupied territories. These women—more than a million in total—were nurses and doctors, pilots, tank drivers, machine-gunners, and snipers. They battled alongside men, and yet, after the victory, their efforts and sacrifices were forgotten.

The soulful nonfiction book written by Svetlana Alexievich, Nobel laureate in Literature and the author of *The Unwomanly Face of War*, has finally received a manga adaptation! A story that is a must-read for the Japanese people, it is a record of the grief-stricken prayers and serene wishes of the people who encountered the then unprecedented catastrophe of a nuclear power plant accident.
