Hi Kate,
Ach!!! I originally mentioned some places where you could buy it at the article, but must have accidentally left that part out when I pasted it into WordPress! So, glad you asked!

All 10 English volumes in the series can be purchased at the bookstore on the sixth floor of the Sogo department store in downtown Hiroshima at a price of around 1,500 yen per book. The Fukuya department store by JR Hiroshima Station carries the Japanese version (Hadashi no Gen), but not the English translation. A cheaper option could be buying them used off Amazon.co.jp. They’re also sold in the souvenir shop inside the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.

This looks great, and I have been looking for English language manga – does anyone know where I can find it in English in a store, or should I just order it on amazon? Thanks!

It’s an amazing story and well worth reading for any Hiroshima JET. (Plus it’s easy to find in English.)
