About this episode

The episode discusses the manga 'Okinawa' by Susumu Higa, highlighting its short stories about the history and culture of Okinawa.

Okinawa by Susumu Higa is a must-read manga for anyone who appreciates comics or world history. Okinawa is a collection of short stories pertaining to the past, present, and even future of Higa's homeland. Every story in this collection is immaculately crafted. Some of them are about life on Okinawa during wartime, some are about the U.S. occupation, and yet others are about life on the archipelago. There's a wide variety of material here, but it's all absolutely worth your time and we hope you seek it out. We were extremely impressed by Okinawa and we want everyone out there to read it, too!
