City Tells Schools To Pull 'Barefoot Gen' Manga From Libraries

IZUMISANO, JAPAN - MARCH 20: The pulled manga 'Hadashi no Gen (Barefoot Gen)' are seen at Izumisano City Hall on March 20, 2014 in Izumisano, Osaka, Japan. The Izumisano board of education asked municipal elementary and junior high schools to remove the manga from library shelves. The request was made after Izumisano Mayor Hiroyasu Chiyomatsu said he found some of the terminology in the manga to be discriminatory. The manga series created by Keiji Nakazawa, based on his own experience as a survivor of the August 6, 1945, atomic bombing of Hiroshima, has been translated into 20 or so languages.
