Hiroshima's Revival: Remembering How People Overcame Destruction and Despair - Takeo Aoki, Pauline Baldwin

Right now I'm in the entertainment chapter. I suspect text arrangement was done by someone who didn't have much experience with it, so there have been some jarring moments. The font choice also sometimes makes it difficult to tell when a panel ends in a period or a comma, which doesn't help. But sometimes the jarring moments work well with the content.

 

For example, one panel about the library sounds potentially positive: the structure survived the bombing. It ends in a comma and not a period, however, and the very next panel continues the sentence: the building was used to hold the bodies of the dead and to provide a place to distribute food.
