Jiro Tenge, filho de uma família aristocrática do norte do Japão, volta para casa depois de passar anos como prisioneiro dos americanos durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Ele descobre então um terrível segredo envolvendo seu pai, seu irmão mais velho e sua cunhada. Mas Jiro também tem um segredo, também terrível. E todos decidem que a filha mais nova, a pequena Ayako, é quem pagará pelos pecados da família.

Através da história da família Tenge, o quadrinista Osamu Tezuka conta a história do Japão no pós-guerra.
O trauma da ocidentalização forçada imposta pela Força de Ocupação norte-americana, os reflexos da Guerra Fria, os choques de gerações, a luta de classes, a corrupção na política, o poder da Yakuza, as guerras de gangs, a violência do machismo…

Tudo em um ritmo de suspense alucinante, que surpreende à cada página. Um livro emocionante.

Work Description

Jirou Tenge, the second son of what used to be an influential Japanese family, returns home after being a POW in an American camp during the Second World War. He finds his family corrupted by the terrible social aftereffects of the war.

His elder brother, determined to keep what remains of the family patrimony after the Government's forced land reallocation, has prostituted his wife to his father to secure his blessing, while other members of Jiro's family have been drawn into similar corruption, and he himself is being forced to spy for the Americans after being broken as a POW. Now the family's youngest daughter Ayako will have to bear the brunt of the family's sins.
